Humanities
In Humanities this quarter, we mainly learned about variety well almost all religion. I was signed up to be partnered with Fredric, and our religion topic was "atheism" and below is one of our research:
Difference in Affirmation
Ø Negative atheist: merely lacks a belief in gods. He is also called a weak atheist or an implicit atheist
Ø Positive atheist: not only lacks a belief in gods, but also affirms that no gods exist. He is also called a strong atheist or an explicit atheist
Difference in the Assessed Rationality of Theism
Ø Unfriendly atheist: believes no one is justified in believing that gods exist
Ø Indifferent atheist: doesn’t have a belief on whether or not others are justified in believing that gods exist
Ø Friendly atheist: believes that some theists are justified in believing that gods exist
Difference in Openness
Ø Closet atheist: has not yet revealed his disbelief to most people
Ø Open atheist: has revealed his disbelief to most people
Difference in Action
Ø Passive atheist: doesn’t believe in god but doesn’t try to influence the world in favor of atheism
Ø Evangelical atheist: tries to persuade others to give up theistic belief
Ø Active atheist: labors on behalf of causes that specifically benefit atheists (but not necessarily just atheists). For example, he strives against discrimination toward atheists, or he strives in favor of separation of church and state
Ø Militant atheist: uses violence to promote atheism or destroy religion. (Often, the term “militant atheist” is misapplied to non-violent evangelical atheists like Richard Dawkins. But to preserve the parallel with the “militant Christian” who bombs abortion clinics or the “militant Muslim” suicide bomber, I prefer the definition of “militant atheist” that assumes acts of violence.)
Difference in Religiosity
Ø Religious atheist: practices religion but does not believe in gods
Ø Non-religious atheist: does not practice religion
Reflection
Above is shown is my research on the religion I was assigned on, for me this is the best sample to show what I have been doing in Humanities because, it shows the questions asked and the information answered. I think that I did well on the research and presentation in the end, as we did all the things that was asked for and assigned and I think I will get a good score for Humanities. But for further improvements, I think that I should try to research more, more information and show better quality of work.
This task can be connected with the concept of intercultural awareness, by we learning variety of Religions this quarter, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholic, Christianity, Atheism, Agnosticism, Judaism and Islam. Each of these religions has there own practices and cultures. And every single one of us has different religions, as from this subject I learned more about each religions and that I'm more aware about it.
