About.com. "Although there are several
different subject areas on the culture page, the one for "Religion/Spirituality"
is the one that is of great use to our class. The section has a fair, unbiased
informational approach to more than a dozen different major religious groups in the world
today, along with some humor and general encouragement. The areas on the different
religious entities are all fair, balanced, and informative, covering the formation,
history, primary beliefs, traditions, size, sacred texts and other teaching tools" [Louis Anderson].
Religious
Tolerance "This site sets itself apart from most that one will find on the
web where religious sites are concerned. This is a site devoted to a nonjudgemental,
pragmatic approach to dozens of major religions, & pseudo-religions, around the world.
They make no judgements about any of the organizations they examine, they simply present
the teachings, history, supporting and problematic "situations" and thoughts for
each." [Louis Anderson]
North American
Interfaith Network "The web site of an organization working to promote
understanding and discussion among the the various religious traditions within the North
American landscape. The site offers links to a large number of religious traditions
in North America, news on discussion and work among various traditions, and a library of
essays on interfaith dialogue." [Wes
Jamison]
Interfaith
Calendar "This site is one with a different approach to religious study,
but one which can certainly serve to stimulate the interest of the visitor. This site
contains calendars for the current year, as well as several years to come, that have the
"Primary Sacred Times" for many religions around the world. A nice, unique
approach to introducing students to other religious organizations." [Louis Anderson]
The American Religious
Experience "This website offers an overview of
the American religious landscape. Articles and essays examine the role that religion
has played in shaping American life. Specific attention is given to the roles of
women and ethnic minorities in American religious history."
