For simplicity let’s use the six categories listed below. Not all religions will fit these categories. For example, a category of “God” might have a variety of terms used for “God” such as deity, gods and goddesses, Spirit, or spirits, but other religions such as Buddhism and Confucianism may also have no gods at all. For this activity, you will compare indigenous religions with Hinduism using the categories listed here. The list here includes examples. Founder/venerated ancestor: Buddha, Moses, Muhammad but also a king as in Shinto. God/Deities/Spirit: these created the world and are venerated/revered/worshiped or are sought out for wisdom or unity. Sacred texts/stories: think Bible or the Vedas; myths of the people—are these stories written down or passed down orally? Salvation/enlightenment/afterlife: this is what the adept hopes to achieve in his/her religious quest/life. Ethical systems: 10 Commandments, lists of virtues, Eightfold Path. Rituals: prayers, going to worship, reading scripture, meditation, acts of benevolence, holy days. Instructions For the activity this week, we will compare Hinduism and indigenous religions (for indigenous religions see Van Voorst, Ch. 2). Complete the supplied comparison chart, Comparing Diverse Religious Perspectives 1 [DOCX], including a conclusion of your results and observations concerning Hinduism and indigenous religions. Compare specific details from both religions, including relevant and specific comments. Write a conclusion addressing your comparisons of the two religions in each of the six categories, including specific details. Use two credible sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review the library guides. This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards.

Comparing Diverse Religious Perspectives 1 – Week 6 Your textbook points out that when we first look at other religions, we often compare them to our own religious preunderstanding. A better way to compare religions is by categories. The textbook provides six categories on p. 10 but these are vague. For simplicity, let’s use the six categories listed below. Not all religions will fit the categories. For example, a category of “God” might have a variety of terms used for “God” such as deity, gods and goddesses, Spirit, or spirits, but other religions like Buddhism and Confucianism, may also have no gods at all. For this activity compare Indigenous religions with Hinduism using the categories listed in the chart. Describe specific details from both religions including relevant, specific comments on the comparisons. Be sure to cite where you obtained your details. Write a substantive conclusion with specific details about your comparison of the two religions at the bottom. We have completed one category for you. Categories (Complete the 5 comparisons below the example) Indigenous religions Hinduism Comments/notes Founder/ venerated ancestor Indigenous religions have no founders (Van Voorst, p. 41) Hinduism has no founder (Van Voorst, p. 62) For Hinduism, while there were no founders there have been several leaders of reform movements in the 1800s AD and the most revered leader of Hinduism today is Mohandas Gandhi (Van Voorst, p.70) better known as Mahatma Gandhi.
