Document Summary
Cult acted out practices of a religion. Atheism is a proposition of the supernatural. Deism god created the world but hasn"t had anything to do with it sense; religion of the founding fathers. Many people want to distort their radicalism by wanting to return to their origin (ex. saying people want to return to the religion of the founding fathers) Know the difference between redirect vs. reality. What people say vs. what people mean. Religion is tied with economics, politics and standards. Religion is inseparable from the rest of reality. We must look at history to observe/study religion. We don"t really know what all happened in the past. We collect evidence and create a model that accounts for all the evidence. There is a difference between a history book vs. a novel. A history book can be wrong, but that doesn"t make it fiction new facts and evidence come up which causes our probable reconstruction to be wrong.
