Document Summary
Must pay attention to faith"s relathionship to modern word (are they good at being governed by the non-religious) Christianity genuinly believes that they should be outside the government anyways. Islam has more trouble with this concept (it has ideas embedded in the faith about government and what government should be) Not obvious that separating government from good works like faith, mercy, love, is a good idea. Not the muslim world that led us to the olocaust, bombs Islam a western religion along with judaism, christianity- a people of the book scriptures share many books, characters, ideas. Monotheistic- one god judgement day- good and evil judges destiny- history has a direction, guided by god. Monotheism: more monotheistic than christianity father, son, and holy spirit. Allah never comes down and walks among us. God completely transcendent- never incarnate in christ. Beyond gender shirk-idolatry (heresy). ignoring the oneness of god favoring anything over god.
