Write a short essay on the value of religious literacy in light of what you have learned studying the world’s major religions (judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism) and in light of your quiz results. This is not about your faith/beliefs, but about a general and objective competence in understanding these major traditions. Why is this important?
