New Pew-Templeton Survey of 19 African Nations Finds Signs of Tolerance and Tensions Between the Faiths WASHINGTON, April 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The vast majority of people in many sub-Saharan African nations are deeply committed to one or the other of the world's two largest religions, Christianity and Islam, and yet many continue to practice elements of traditional African religions. Most people support democracy and say it is a good thing that people from other religions are able to practice their faith freely. At the same time, many also favor making the Bible or sharia law the official law of the land. And while many Muslims and Christians describe members of the other faith as tolerant and honest, there are clear signs of tensions and divisions between the faiths.

PLEASANT GROVE, Ala. - All morning at work, the boss wife stared at the storm alerts flashing across the television screen and fretted. By 2:30 p.m., when they closed the restoration shop early and sent employees home, Jonathan Ford paid little mind to the sunshine overhead. Fear of weather was playing havoc with his day. Ford had been hearing tornado warnings since he was a kid, and although hed always done what hed been told and sought out shelter, the 21-year-old found it hard sometimes to take the alerts too seriously. This warning, in addition to cutting work short, also had canceled his night classes at Jefferson State Community College. That left Ford in his pickup, with instructions from his mother to stop only for bread and dog food, then come straight back to their neighborhoo...

I recently purchased a book by Bill Graham because of one statement that spoke to my heart. The men who framed our Constitution knew they were writing the basic document for a government of free men; they recognized that men could live as free and independent beings only if each one knew and understood the law. They were to know their rights, their privileges, and their limitations. They were to stand as equals before the court of law, and few judges could be unfair; for the judge, too, was bound by the same law and required to try each case accordingly ...

Representatives of the Catholic Diocese of Burlington declined repeated requests to be interviewed for this story. But in a conversation with Seven Days the following day, vanderHeyden made clear his position on the matter. "Our concept of hospitality that says, 'You cannot refuse anyone in your room when darkness falls,' means that we must embrace all people. That has been very much a hallmark of this community. Diversity is very critical," he said. "I certainly will not take the initiative to change anything on St. Michael's policy that says when we recruit and hire people, there's no discrimination on the basis of faith, sexual orientation or physical ability. That's the law of the land. [Tyronne Walker] also sees the dialogue about the college's Catholic identity as a good thing. "...

The southern states of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, rank in the bottom 15 on the list Greater percentages of poor children struggle in these states than they do anywhere else. What's interesting is that these places don't have large numbers of poor children. Southern states tend to be "red" states (conservative) states. This area of the country is also known as the Bible Belt. Here religion is used to motivate individuals politically and socially; politicians use terms like "family values" and "a more wholesome America." Those of us who are truly faithful and live by the Word understand that God wants us to help the poor, not turn our backs against them. Leaders in the Bible Belt need to start living up to the images they project. If these policy makers believe in family values, th...
