This thesis is significant in that many institutions, for both blacks and whites in the early days were founded by religious orders and when those institutions began to transition to more modern ideals they also borrowed from more diverse religious sources to do so. The example of how Gandhi's teachings were integrated into mainstream education for blacks is a foundational argument that supports this thesis as well as the whole thesis of the work. Individuals seeking more modern and multicultural ideals regarding how to demonstrate that all peoples are equal and should have equal rights, including those in the minority did not have far to search as they looked to world examples for what to call the system in which minorities lived, one theologian going so far as to call the system a caste system, that unfairly held black youth within a standard that would not translate to modern culture and left them with significant obstacles to overcome. (pp. 111-112) The author effectively sought and achieved a purpose which draws direct correlations between modern ideals and the moral obligations of religious rhetoric. Calling on examples from all over the world, in some cases, but fundamentally linking much of it back to new and "better" interpretations by founding institutions about ecumenicist and religions morality that should and did fight for resolution of the race question, but was fundamentally incapable of offering anything but interpretive conflict. When Noll argues that the resolutions of the culture with regard to race were not possible through this venue he is well directed, and makes claim that just such a standard followed America even into the modern era. It goes without saying,...
With this individual thread being the key to individual rather than global reconciliation the conflicts over race were likely to continue for as long as there is an independent interpretation to be had regarding the question. (p. 48)
Thus, Sam argues that although the world often seems unjust (and is filled with innumerable instances of evil), yet P. is solved through the belief that every condition (good, in this case) necessitates an equal and opposite condition (evil, as it were.) However, Gretchen counters by asking whether those who behave in an evil way are ever punished for their transgressions, and whether there is any motivation for people to
(40) The foundation of the story demonstrates the social pull of religion as a way of life, that is inclusive, despite its obvious contradictions to the modern world, belief systems and economy. In a sense the social desire to fit in and be seen as different are met by the acceptance of the church as a lifestyle. According to Durkheim, "Deep down, no religion is false.... Each in its

Of course, he did not address any of the wonderful things people do in the name of religion, and I do wonder about that. Is the thought that people would do wonderful things anyway, even if they did not have a religious orientation motivating them to do those things? Is the thought that the wonderful things done in the name of religion are dwarfed by the awful things done
The rigid theology of scientific, rational atheism as an antidote to the problems of religion was not found in Marx and Engels. Marx did see religion as fostering apathy to class divisions and as kind of a 'sop' to appropriate anger and revolutionary solidarity, but he believed that it would disappear of its own accord once the populace was made sufficiently aware of the cruelties of the class system.
