Brainstorming Religion, Atheism, Relgious Politics, and Secular Politics

[Vagabonder]

Greetings,

I'm trying to get a consensus on the most popular words/themes associated with Religion, Atheism, and Religious Politics (eg. Abortion), Secular Politics (eg. Seperation of Church and State).

So if you have a few minutes and would like to help contribute to my studies on the unconscious effects of worldview, please list as many words as you can under the headings Religion, Atheism, Religious politics, and Secular Politics.

Also, for interests sake, indicate on a scale of 1-10 how religious you are, and where you fall on the political spectrum. Also, what religion or lackthereof you most identify with.

Thank you very much for your time!

Welcome to Tweb!!!!!!!

Your first post gets you some pearls!

On a scale of 1 to 10 I am not sure where I am, but a 10 comes to mind because I have an intense interest in the study of ALL religions and beliefs, and what their world view is from their perspective.

Religious belief - Baha'i with a strong Buddhist/Taoist world view.


I will list some words now and add more later

Religion

God
'Source'
Tao
Allah
Yahweh
Ei
Abba
Deus

Shiva
Shakti
Ishvara


Atheism

Hmmm . . .
No-theism
myth
superstition
legend


Religious politics

Dangerous
Frightening
Ominous


Secular politics

Separation
Tenuous

That's a good start, thanks! Also, not sure how the pearls works, but thanks for those too :)

There does not seem to be much response here. At present there is a lot of action over in Apologetics where Christians are doing their best to save atheists, especially recently fallen M. Talkingsworth.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I hope a few more people respond, it would be nice to ge some good stimuli to use so my data comes out better.

Shalom Vagabond. I just engaged in a little brainstorming for you. I just sat and wrote the first things that popped into my mind. I had to change “Secular Politics” to just “Politics” to make sense to me. Religion is a major component of Politics, so I don't understand your term "Secular Politics". My religion is Judaism, I’d rate myself a 7 for depth of adherence. Politically, I’m a Republican, fiscally conservative.
