Christianity and Secular Humanism
In this report I will be comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences between the religious tradition Christianity, with the world view of Secular Humanism.
Religious view: Christianity
“a monotheistic system of beliefs and practices based on the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus as embodied in the New Testament and emphasizing the role of Jesus as saviour” -Webster’s Dictionary A religion is a belief in the supernatural that defines how one lives. Christianity revolves around a God, as the creator of the universe, and who gives purpose in all living things. Christian God puts a price on sin (evil, wrongdoings), which are stated in the Christians sacred text – the Bible. Because of the sin in the world God sent his son, Jesus Christ to earth to die for the salvation of mankind. This salvation comes in the form of afterlife – salvation, going to heaven and being with God, the opposite being hell, for the punishment of sin. Along with God the Father and the son, there is a third figure in the Holy trinity which is the Holy Spirit that came after Jesus’s resurrection to live within believers. Christian’s acknowledge God as their creator and aim to live their lives in worship of him and according to Jesus’s teachings. There are many diffirent branches in Christianity such as Catholicism. Baptist, Pentecostal etc. “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” - Romans 11:36
“Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” - Matthew 5:42-45
