The Influence of Religion The Gutenberg printing press, which printed the very first Bible in 1445, helped spread religion throughout the Holy Roman Empire, and other regions.

It can be argued that religion had nothing to do with the revolt of peasants, however, the different point of views of whether or not peasants should be treated the same caused the peasant uprising in Germany from 1524 to 1525. Religion helped the peasants realize they should not be held as serfs anymore.
The Hindu religious traditions and practices with regards to the perspective on animals is that nature is sacred, with God and nature being one and the same (Kemmerer p 56).

A group of teenagers stole a puppy from his owners garden and abused him for hours. According to an RSPCA inspector, this is one of the worst cases the inspector had ever seen. The tiny chihuahua yorkshire terrier mix, named Chunky, was kicked, burned, hit, fed drugs, and had his neck squeezed before being left for dead.

A long time ago, animals played a huge role in people’s lives. For example, they would rely on animals for the things they needed, such as food, clothing, and transportation. People back then acted differently. In some societies people would worship animals as gods. At least, 12 - 14,000 years ago, people realized that if they took a baby wolf, they could train it, and it would be friendly when the wolf was full grown.
To some people religion is their entire way of life while to others it is just a side thought. But to almost everyone religion affects their lives everyday in some way, whether it just be in the back of a mind. Religion affects the lives of its followers by telling them the rights and wrongs, giving them someone to follow, and explaining why things happen to allow its followers to gain access to some variation of heaven.

Judaism and Hinduism have many things in common. Both ancient religions believe in a higher power and both began as being specific to a certain region before later expanding in the late 19th century, with Judaism originating in Egypt and Hinduism taking its roots in India. With that being said, there are also several differences between the two religions.

“Within the Special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. Whoever is guilty of murder in the first degree shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for life” (U.S. code of law).

If animals are alive, like humans, then why should taking away their life result in a maximum 2 years in prison and a fine that never exceeds 1,000 dollars?
The religion I choose to observe for my fieldwork project is Catholicism. In order to complete the fieldwork assignment required for this paper I attended St. Lawrence Church on 5225 N.

Animal Rights Some people assume that just because animals cannot speak that they cannot feel pain. It is not okay to torture living beings that have their own thoughts and breathe the exact same air us humans breathe. It is unjust and selfish to stand by and take no action while everyday hundreds if not thousands of innocent animals die without reason. No matter how much fur or how many limbs the creature has; it should be treated as equal as a person. A heart beat is a heartbeat regardless of the body it’s in.
