I have all except the historical impact and examples...Can anyone think of any and if possible some sources? If you'd like you can give any more thoughts on the other topics.... Ten points to the best answer... Thanks everyone

Answer 1

For Islam you can try:

http://www.islamicity.com/education/ihame/default.asp?Destination=/education/ihame/1.asp

For Christianity try:
http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/history/overview.htm

For Judaism try:
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/timeline.html

Or you can try:
http://www.religionfacts.com/ for some information on all of them.

There are many other sources, just becareful as there are many sites that have been written by people of opposing faiths trolling and trying to portray each other as bad.

Good luck in your search.

Answer 2

One focus could be ever-advancing levels of unity. Briefly, from Judaism, we understand the concept of law and its spiritual and social application and implication; from Christianity, we understand the concept of love and mercy in the application of law in its application and implication; and from Islam, we understand the concept of nationhood based on a common belief that inculcates what we have come to understand from Judaism and Christianity and its application and implication.

I think there is sufficient evidence to support this ever-advancing conceptual development of unity in humanity's relationships among individuals and societies.

Answer 3

The Bible of course, and how about the Constitution of the United States of America, and the Emancipation Proclamation.

Answer 4

historical impact:

The development of their cultures
building of churches/temples/mosques and cities around them
some wars :(
Holidays
Writing of holy books
Art

Tons of stuff. Religion plays a huge role on societies especially.

Answer 5

There is a page that gives you a historical outline on islam and why they are here and where they are going See www.revelado.org/islam.htm

And you will learn much about the history of Christianity and where we are going at http://abiblecode.tripod.com

Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

Answer 6

what is the historical impact of religion.... how about circumventing the evolution of humanity and creating imbalances in nature... First you have to understand the purpose of spirit... the purpose of spirit is to unite us with nature.. everything on earth emits information... everything in nature comes off as complaints and nature evolves by eliminating complaints... As humans sought to control this "power" through religion they began a cycle detramental to life on earth... using religions made humans loud spiritually.. then nature is stuck trying to figure out the problems with humans... it entered nature into a debate with humans and humans because of their numbers were winning the war but enslaving themselves which causes injustice and oppression... some of the results of religious mentality on earth are... prejudice... racism (because we evolve according to our environment we have different cultural differences) christianity seeks to eliminate these differences.. prejudce against women..(omens and prophecies .. natural cause and effects reported in nature found that a woman human would be the one to destroy the power the church created on the earth) that is why women are constantly made less in religion... Ignorance... look at the scientist of the past.. how they were persecuted by the church.. religions slow down our understanding of the world we live in... When evolution was becoming understood, religions picked up on the information and pushed it beyond the bounds of resonability.. how nature works was becoming understood but by forcing the proof of evolution to be viewed as only the origins of the universe and not the actual small cycles it is retarded the understanding of it.. those are damages to cultures, information and understanding... Other problems.. illnesses... for this you would have to look at the world beyond humans.. now I don't mean aliens.. that's christian thinking.. I mean animals plant life ocean life insect life.. these are not subject to long term epidemics and illnesses.. actually nature is quite efficient at healing them butn in the human race... our bodies have become so entwined in the negative religious dogma in our spirit that nature simply leaves us out of it's healing cycles.. this is what I've come up with... I'm not good at writting papers and such.. but i'm good at explaining in answering questions if it's direct enough.. I'm online for another hour or so. you could reach me by e-mail at http://gypsys-emporium.com/talk_to_me

Answer 9

i would like to warn you not to call people that went against the teachings of JESUS CHRIST Christians.

through out history many people have done evil and commited atrocities while calling themselves followers of JESUS.

be sure you read the HOLY BIBLE and find out for sure what being a Christian means.

The Bible (OT and NT) and the Kuran would be a great place to start
