Pick a religion we have studied this semester whose worldview is very different from yours. For the purposes of this assignment, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are considered to be similar religions.
Discuss the important parts of that religion’s worldview.
Part 2
Contrast your worldview (your core beliefs) to those you just explored for the religion in Part 1. As a part of your assignment explain where your core beliefs came from.
Part 3 – What to focus on:
In evaluating your worldview and the contrasting religion, use the following to help you focus your analysis:
Is the created world a good or a bad place? Or to put it another way, is the world we live in a good place or a bad place? Why?
Why are we here? (Or to ask it another way, “Why were humans created?”)
What are the guiding principles of the contrasted religion? (How should we live according to the religion?)
What are the guiding principles in your worldview? (What principles does your worldview contain to help you live correctly?)
What are the religion’s core beliefs? What are your core beliefs? (Don’t focus on more than four.)
What is the main goal of the contrasted religion? What are the main goals of your personal belief system?
