As a person raised Christian, with very little knowledge on different religions or theories on the creation, this class did more than teach me about world religions— it made me more open to different religions or even the lack of. I can admit I had preconceived ideas on different religions, based on what I consumed in the media and heard from leaders in my faith. I viewed them as “other”. I thought because they didn’t have the same foundations of Islam, Christianity or Judaism, that were completely different. I got a global perspective watching videos of people practice and speak so passionately about their beliefs. I learned that at the end of the day, religion makes us all feel the same. We are all connected, despite the differences in beliefs.
