Compare/Contrast Two Religions
Our text book has divided the religions we study into 4 groups:
Religions Originating in the Americas and Africa
Religions Originating from India
Religions Originating in China and Japan (not covered in this class)
Religions Originating in the Middle East.
For your second paper, please choose 2 religions to compare. These religions should come from different
basic groups. For example, if you choose a religion from the group Religions Originating in India, you should
choose the second religion from a different group; either Religions Originating in the Americas and Africa or
Religions Originating in the Middle East.
THEN, choose an area to compare the two religions. Discuss the differences and the similarities in ONE of the
following areas:
Life of the founder
Value/view of the Material world
View of the Afterlife
Violence
