“True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God’s fidelity to His Promises. -Fancis Chan” (Reader’s Digest) Starting in around 30CE, Christianity spread throughout the ancient Roman Empire. As the religion grew, Christianity became one of the most prominent religions in the Roman Empire.
Christianity is a very important religion that is practiced by almost a third of the world’s population today. So why was this religion able to grow so much during ancient times? Inspired by Jesus Christ over two thousand years ago, Christianity faced several barriers along its road to prevalence in the world. During his lifetime, Jesus preached the Word of God until Roman officials felt threatened and eventually crucified him. After his death, however, Jesus’ apostles kept up his legacy and continued to preach God’s Word.
What are some people that helped the growth of Christianity? Christianity is the part of the five main religions, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. Jesus Christ inspired Christianity. Christianity was created by Paul. Poor people were turning to Christian because it is a religion that is open to anyone, even the poor.
Religion geared up hope and faith and caused many revolts and rebellions with a community of spiritual individuals weary of the oppression and slavery going on within society. Problems with slavery, segregation and mass killings of the poor and African American communities arose and enough was enough. It all began with the story of Nat Turner, an African slave who grew up in the slave trade. As a young boy, he believed heavily in the teachings of the Bible and the church. Turner believed he was chosen by God to help put an end to slavery and years of oppression.
Racism is the discrimination against someone based on the idea that their race is superior to another. The Catholic Church is a large opponent to racism because it believes that our Lord created us all as equals who should be treated as such. Racism in the United States has existed since its establishment but became very prevalent during the Civil War and the creation of the Ku Klux Klan. Although racism tends to refer mainly only to race and skin color it has also been used in terms of religion (Robinson). This can be traced back to when Catholics were persecuted for their faith.

From my conclusion America was not founded as a Christian nation. Yes, it is true that some of the early settlers came here to have religious freedom from the church of England, but the Founding Fathers were predominantly non-Christian. There is a lot of evidence to support that the founding fathers were mostly Deist or non-Christian. The origin of our country was founded on escaping the Anglican pressure of the Church of England. Some of the Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and many more were not Christian, but that does not remove the idea of Christianity in the United States.
The Christian principles that has made a major impact on people in the movement is the Bible commands that people serve God by caring and loving one another.

In conclusion, Marx argues that religion preserves inequality, because religion alienates one from one's self and from others, it also wastes their creative energies, eventually resulting in the loss of one's self. On the contrary, Tocqueville finds that, in democratic countries, religion is essential in protecting peoples' freedom. He also believes that religious authority should not try to "destroy" equality because it will risk being destroyed. Marx proposes significant insight into why extremely religious people give up on their undesirable circumstances or sacrifice their own lives for the sake of a supernatural being. Although Marx's argument seems to be plausible, yet it is contradictory, because he is only providing his beliefs on religion
AS 90822 Olivia Russell Examine an example of contemporary social action related to a religious tradition. The definition of Human Dignity means that each person on this earth should be treated equally and given the same quality of life.

RELIGION CAUSES MORE HAARM THAN GOOD TO SOCIETY Religion according to the oxford dictionary is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power especially a personal God or gods. Every human being in one way or the other belongs to a particular religion. Since religion makes us worship one God then it should be binding all of us. Actually it is not, it rather tears people apart day in and day out .It is true that religion has influenced society positively in diverse ways, but the bad outweighs the good. Thus I think religion causes more harm than good to the society.
