"The Present and the Future of Religion"  Please respond to the following after reviewing the class materials and the Instructor's Insights:

  • Among the religions we discussed this week, identify one religion that you find the most interesting. Explain your response.
  • Explain at least three ways that social trends affect the formation of new religions and dictate new religious movements.
  • Are "new" religions really new? Why or why not?
  • Some say New Age religions are wacko. Look up http://www.apath.org/creating_religion.html and see what you think.
  • Look up pastafarians. Yes, pastafarians. Legitimate religion or just a  fad?
