Question

Introduction to Religious Studies

Answer 1

Answer:

Religious literacy helps us to embrace and understand the differences among the different religions in the world.

Explanation:

Steven Prothero strongly argues that religion is not the same from another. Though many people claim that all religions have the same purpose and goal, Prothero argues that people are just being ignorant to really understand the differences about each religion.

Therefore, he propagates religious literacy as a way to understand the differences among different religions. Prothero thinks that religious literacy is important because it helps the people to look deeper into every religion. Through this insight, people learn the different customs and rituals, dogmas and doctrines and the tenets of each religion.

And in this way people embrace the differences and sort out to live with one another in harmony.
