HOH
RELIGION, ETHICS, & SOCIETY (RES) CLUB
 This club
looks at issues relating to religion – varieties of religions, their
histories, changes, and future; the role religion(s) had played and still
play(s) in society, the development and role of myths (theistic and
nontheistic), their adaptations to modern society, factors which
influence religion and society, how ethics developed and what role was
played by religion, how cultures are changing and can be evaluated in
modern globalized world. The discussion will also include problems with
religion and its institutions and leaders. It also includes discussion of
what elements of religion may be important to human culture. The question,
"what is religion?" is explored. Relevant subject matter might
also include critiques on faith-based thinking, superstition, religious
violence, and dogma.
