.Since the beginning
of humanity people have held various different religious beliefs and for many
people who identify with a particular.Religion they may view another religious
practice from a different religion or just label the whole religion as controversial
We're not saying that
these religions are controversial at their core rather.We're highlighting
religions that the majority of people identify with being controversial in some
way shape or form Okay, so with that being said to start off with our first
religion and that is Scientology the term Scientology means the study of Truth
in the words of the founder and spiritual leader the late science fiction .
Controversial rituals In The Religion
Now with an origin
that traces back to the Year 1954 the group claims to have more than 10 million
followers in over 159 countries to this date now despite this religion success
like a lot of other belief systems what?Scientologists believe, and how they
perceive a higher power is often.
Misunderstood at the
core of Scientology is a belief that each human has a reactive mind that
responds to life's traumas clouding the analytical mind and keeping us from experiencing
reality members of Scientology follow a process called auditing to find the
source of this trauma
Working towards a
spiritual state called clear so now the next religion. I want to talk about is
laveyan Satanism Laveyan satanism is a religion that was founded in the year in
1966 by the american occultists and author anton lavey.The religion began with
the founding of the Church of Satan in the year 1966 now
This is one of several
different movements that describe themselves as a form of Satanism so people
that practice laveyan
Satanism.Do not
believe that Satan actually exists nor do they worship him But they do see
Satan as a symbol who represents pride and enlightenment .Anton LaVey was
actually an atheist and he rejects the existence of all gods.
1. controversy about religion (Jehovah)
Now another religion
that just can't escape being associated with controversy is the Jehovah's
Witness
Jehovah's Witnesses
are also known as the watchtower society.Now the church is best known for its
door-to-door evangelism and its belief that only 144,000 people will go to
heaven and the rest of people who are saved will live forever on a restored
planet Earth.
Jehovah's Witness they
reject the concept of the Trinity and this religion was also founded in the
Year 1879 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Charles taze Russell who was born in the
year 1852 and passed away in the year
1916 was one of the
prominent founders now the total number of Jehovah's Witnesses are around 7.3
million worldwide and the largest Concentration of Jehovah's Witnesses are
found in the United States where they total 1.2 million.
2. controversy about religion (Christianity)
Now the final two most
controversial religions are Christianity as well as Islam, and I'm starting off
with Christianity. Like some other world religions has had a troubling history
of violence and bloodshed that many people choose to ignore
Christianity has a
complicated path Associated with it where people were tortured as well as seen
as heretics because they viewed their faith in a different way now lots of
people are confused as to what Christianity is as we have many Catholics who
claim to be Christian and Protestants who claim that they are the true Christians
not Catholics violence between Protestants and Catholics continued in Christian
Ireland until the very end of the 20th century making Christianity one of the
most controversial
Religions of all time
and as I mentioned just now another religion to talk about is Islam.Islam is a
second largest religion in the world and like Christianity has been associated
with a lot of Conflicts in the world as well as terrorism. Islam is one of the
world's most popular religions But it's also among one of the most
misunderstood faith systems.Islamic faith systems often find itself at the
center of the media headlines as well as public.
Criticism and although
there are many Muslims that claim the religion is a religion of peace there are
many other Muslim scholars who interpret the Quran to a justify bombings and terrorism
and as a result of this the majority of the world views a Muslim religion as
just one single entity
Assume that every
Muslim must believe the exact same thing and this leads Islam to be Listed as
the most controversial religion in this episode so guys that concludes of this
episode And I really want to hear your thoughts and comments down below like
what other
Misconceptions about
religions, whether you follow that religion or not are out there I'd love to
hear what you guys have to say so leave your comments down
