The Handmaid’s Tale Religion is the basics of what people choose to believe in. Religion is often tied with our morality, to keep us in the right path and help us distinguish right from wrong. It is what gives us human beings part of our identity. It is what we turn to in times of crisis. However, Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale, shows how religion is used to create fear in order to control the people of Gilead and maintain order within the society.

This can lead to extremism, which some might label as false piety or religious fanaticism.

Piety is defined as “devotion to God; fidelity to natural obligations; dutifulness

A Clockwork Orange, written by Anthony Burgess, deals with the essence of humanity and morality. Being difficult topics to grapple with, many turn to a religious perspective to inform their beliefs on these subjects. Burgess himself is a strongly Catholic individual and this ideology shows through in the ideas presented by A Clockwork Orange. The book contains a number of allusions to the Bible, Jesus and God’s intentions for humanity. These religious references build upon each other to develop Burgess’ notion that God created humans with free will, and how this leaves humankind flawed and prone to evil tendences.

MORALITY AND RELIGION Sudakhya (434), First year, Philosophy Hons Miranda House "Does God love goodness because it is good, or is it good because God loves it?"

Believers of God think that doing good deeds is being moral and thus these actions will save them from their sins. They believe that following God’s will, that is the 10 commandments and in the new commandments stated in the New Testament is the written and visible basis for these actions found in the Holy Bible. . Others believe that being moral is not just following the 10 commandments. Many instances already happened where people are already confused about what is good and what is not. Instances like doing an unethical action in order to save others or give justice; this example is best shown in the movie Robin Hood.

I think that Secular Humanism should be considered as a religion because religion is a fundamental set of beliefs and practices, so you necessary have to believe in god/gods to be in a religion. If all religions have special rights then Secular Humanism should have special rights as well, just because they don 't believe in god/gods doesn 't mean they should be treated any different than other religions. Every person has different beliefs, they might not be the same as yours but should still treat them with

Another Milestone that effects the way we define the notion of “Good and Evil” is largely based on our religion. Therefore, the way we see right from wrong, heaven and hell, light and darkness, Good vs. Evil and God and the Devil comes from the moral criterion that we attempt to apply to our worldviews. However, given the conspicuous contrasts amongst religions, ranging from Christianity to Islam to Judaism. Many people believe that due to the simple fact of religious diversity, this provides the basis to discredit any assumption of moral truths. Some religions define evil as “the result of human sin” or that “Evil is the result of a spiritual being who opposes the Lord God”

Religious scholar Suel refutes Crake’s argument when he brings up, “Hans Mol described the chief function of religion as the stabilization of individual and group identity”(558).Religion serves as a fundamental stabilization for groups, in order for the Crakers to prosper in the world, they must adapt some form of faith as their foundation- not even eradicating religion in their minds will

Another ethical principle that can be applied to the case is the deontological theory of categorical imperative. Under this ethical principle Cathy could argue that he had a moral duty to state and follow the laws that are given from God asserting that we are bringing God’s judgement on ourselves when we try to redefine the definition of marriage. Also under this principle it is the responsibility of the business to do the greatest good for its stakeholders in general. When Cathy stated his stance against same-sex marriage he was not thinking of his customers or the employees of the organization. As the owner of Chick-fil-A he did not respect people and

In an effort to maintain the principles established in Winthrop 's speech, ministers in New England created a set of practices known as the New England Way, which was made to strengthen the power of the church. However, as evidenced by rebels Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, some individuals became unsatisfied with the ironclad Puritan Church. One of the core threats towards Winthrop 's shining vision was the notion of a market economy, which emphasizes an individuals free will in making economic decisions. This form of economy directly contradicts the New England Way, and demonstrates the change of values among the colonists. Other important factors in the erosion of New England Way include expansion, war with the Native Americans, and religious

Chapter 5 Sacred power of violence in popular culture. “So, the violence is not simply a matter of retaliating against those who perpetuate evil (though such revenge can be sweet), it is a matter of serving a greater divine purpose. Ultimately that divine purpose makes the use of violence a moral (because commanded-implicitly of explicitly-by God) action.” (Bain-Selbo pg. 74)

The critical thinkers during the Enlightenment were philosophes, and these philosophes focused on two ideas, progress and reason. The concept of progress was the belief that society and humanity could be improved. Reason was the ability of individuals to think for themselves. Many nobles considered these ideas to be radical, but the philosophes viewed progress and reason the key to a liberating and prosperous society. In religion, many

The difference in ethical issues are due to individual 's view about the beginning of life. Due to religion, culture and heritage the fate is founded up on, some believe life starts at conception and hence an embryo is a humane while others believe life starts after the embryo is implanted in the womb and hence the embryo resulted from fertilization outside the womb is not human. These controversies limit the resources of funds needed for the stem cell
