Rather than teaching a religion from the standpoint of a believer, Religious Studies approaches these complicated traditions of beliefs and practices in the same way as a political theorist regards systems of governance or a literary critic reads canonical literature: that is, we do not attempt to assess the “truth” or the merits of particular religions, but instead seek to understand how they have come about, what they are made of, what their practitioners do, and how they affect culture and society.
With so many degree options out there, here are some top reasons why you should study Religious Studies:
Taking a closer look at religion helps you to listen empathetically, communicate thoughtfully, and write with a richer meaning, all capabilities of a diplomatic, tactful and knowledgeable person.
By taking a gander at the religious backdrop of various societies, a religious study student can develop a superior comprehension of why certain people groups act the way they do. By learning the different cultures of society, a wide social mindfulness is yours for the taking.
“We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn't a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our dive
- Barack Obama
