Religious Prejudice and Bias: Shapers of Major World Events

Abstract: A 7 page discussion of the influence of religious prejudice and bias as an underlying theme of such apparently unrelated events as: a)The Transition From Sect to Established Religion, b)European Expansion and Medieval Christianity, c)Reform and Global Expansion, d)Modern Christianity & Pluralism, and e)Modern Christianity & Secularization. Discusses the evolution of religion and culture and that evolution's relation to world events, especially the dominance of just a few religion over others. Provides extensive examples from Christianity to conclude that the common theme underlying many of the major events which have shaped the world is prejudice and bias, a theme which has remained constant from the very beginnings of civilization to the events which we see unfolding around us today. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
