Christianity
Religions, or belief systems, are perhaps the strongest force in society. Christianity is the main religion in America, and is what American morals are surrounded by; even though our founding fathers clearly stated, “As the Government of the United Stated of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion”. (Article 11, the Treaty of Tripoli) Christianity has influenced American culture for years. Most people will view Christianity in modern society as positive, but there are revolutionists that view religion as a whole as negative and can ruin our society.
Christianity is a teaching based on the life and teaching of Jesus, which is located in the New Testament. “Christianity is Monotheist, which believe in one God” (Wormer 35). Most Christians believe that God is one eternal being who exists as three distinct, eternal, and invisible persons: “the Father, the Son, which is Jesus, and the Holy Spirit” (Wormer 33). They believe that God loved the Earth, so he sent his son, Jesus, to sacrifice himself for the sins of Mankind. The teachings of Christianity start early and continue throughout a person’s life. It usually starts a very young age by bringing the child to church or to Sunday school. Most Christians start teaching their children the stories of the bible, and how what one acts will affect them in the afterlife. Most Christians believe in being baptized at an early age so you can be cleansed of all sins. In the Christian religion, even if you have lived a life of sin, so long as you repent in the end, you will be saved and given eternal life. This is not so in other religions. Such religions as Hinduism for instance do not believe this. For everything you do wrong you will be punished. “Christianity is slowly evolving and trying to become even more appealing to society, there are still many downfalls”...
