Right now I'm at a good place in my research, each new article is bringing my topic (religion) into a better and more broad perspective, rather than just my own views I am being exposed to the views of many others and the foundations of how our society and government are connected with religion. I have already answered some of my key questions that i had hoped to answer such as government and free exercise of religion, and morals, and similarities in religions. I am really glad I was given this topic because religion is an important part of my life and the lives of many others and it is a timeless topic one that will always be controversial and discussed, and it is important to continue to avoid ignorance by knowing what has gone on currently and in the past. Beliefs among Americans are some of the most diverse on the planet, but as long we search for our many similarities rather than our differences we will be able to move forward; this is the essential message I have pulled out of all my responses and articles.

I've also been really intrested in religion and the differences between them. Its always bothered me how people see judaism and christianity with such different eyes while in reality they are so similar. Lookings forward to following up and seeing what else you have to say about the topic.
I think that it is so important to try and understand each other's religions. As you said, America is one of the most diverse nations throught the world. One of the reasons that our country succeds this way is because many people try to understand both the similarities and differences of others religions. In reaserching other religions there ideas that not everyone will agree with. However, I think that it is important to respect other's ideas, because that is truly how America prospers. Without trying to understand and accept that other religions exist, the nation would be as chaotic as other parts of the world are. I agree with both you and 11Farhim that it is so important to focus on similarities of religions so that we are able to see that religions are not as disconnected as people might think.
