Abstract:
Tobacco smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke are a major threat to human health worldwide. The effort to prevent tobacco use should be regarded as an important public health strategy. Given the significance of religion and spirituality in the daily life of more than 90% of the world's population, the relationship of religion and smoking should be seen as a critical research area. Religions are many and varied, but most value human well-being highly and so do not approve of tobacco use, even though they do not prohibit it entirely. In recent years, researchers have shown more interest in the subject of religion and health, including drug and tobacco use. Differences of focus and methodology notwithstanding, most studies have ascertained a deterrent role for religion as regards tobacco use, and several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the negative relationship between religion or spirituality and smoking. Many of the studies, however, suffer from shortcomings that need to be acknowledged and addressed, such as using nonstandard data-gathering tools, lack of a unified definition of religion or spirituality, and paucity of research in non-Christian and developing countries. Finally, the cross-sectional nature of many of the studies makes the meaningful interpretation of findings difficult.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the philosophical views of the famous Turkic writer of the 13th early 14th centuries. Rabguzi. The unification of different religions and multilingual communities into a single state of Altyn Horde under the leadership of the descendants of Genghis Khan led to the establishment of monotheistic views. In accordance with social requirements, Rabguzi introduces different peoples to the main categories of the great monotheistic religion. Having studied all the previous stories on the Koranic motives, Rabguzi combined and developed well-known religious stories about the creation of the earth. Human nature is one of the most important problems of ancient religions. According to religions, Adam was always trying to find a natural meaning for his life. He hoped to understand how and why he was given life. In Rabguzi's work, the riddle of human nature is given a strict answer from the point of view of religion, and therefore its scientific value is high.

Relationships between religion and comics are generally unexplored in the academic literature. This article provides a brief history of Black religions in comic books, cartoons, animation, and newspaper strips, looking at African American Christianity, Islam, Africana (African diaspora) religions, and folk traditions such as Hoodoo and Conjure in the 20th century. Even though the treatment of Black religions in the comics was informed by stereotypical depictions of race and religion in United States (US) popular culture, African American comics creators contested these by offering alternatives in their treatment of Black religion themes.

Abstract:
The paradigms of world religions often influence Indonesia's general understanding of religion. Indigenous religious practices are often labeled as animistic practices. The adherents of the Indigenous religion are often regarded as worshipers of trees, mountains, and the like. Such is the case with adherents of the Indigenous religion in Java Island (Kejawen). From the results of a literature study that utilizes various literature and paradigms related to the existence of religion in Indonesia, this study tries to look further into the position of Kejawen in the Indonesian constitution. The results of this study found that Kejawen adherents still experience many discriminatory actions due to the lack of comprehensive understanding of the Indonesian people regarding the importance of symbolic recognition and the resources of Kejawen teachings. In addition, Kejawen adherents also feel they have a historical burden because they are not considered adherents of a religion "recognized" by the State. Kejawen is often associated with occult and shamanic traditions. The Indonesian constitution clearly states that the State must be fair in guaranteeing and giving freedom to every citizen to choose, adhere to, and practice their religions or beliefs. Kejawen, as part of the Indigenous religion, should also be protected and guaranteed its rights and freedoms and placed in an equal position with other religions.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT An overview of the importance of religion, particularly Christianity, has had in American life from the earliest explorations and settlements to the present day and the way that importance has been reflected in numerous religious utopias and dystopias. Positive utopias have been inspired by Christ’s teachings and by Eden, heaven, and the millennium. Dystopias, found mostly in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, reflect, on the one hand, a fear that Christianity is under threat, and, on the other hand, the fear that fundamentalist Christians will impose their beliefs on the country. There have also been a number of Jewish utopias and anti-Semitic dystopias as well as a few Islamic utopias and a growing number of anti-Islamic dystopias based on the belief that Muslims want to impose Shari`a law on everyone.

Abstract:
Through an examination of course offerings at Canadian universities the study of religion and literature (RL) of a generation ago is compared with that today. Many of the RL courses taught in 1972 were organized around theological themes and existential motifs taken as characteristic of the contemporary world and students' own search for meaning. Today's RL courses, while fewer in number and perhaps less prominent within religious studies curricula, bring into view wider concerns, both in terms of the religions and literatures represented and the methods whereby these texts are treated.

Abstract:
Based on a literature review, this paper addresses how political science and sociology incorporate religion in their theories and research. A particular focus is placed on how both sciences theorise the relationship between religion and politics. The paper argues that political science and sociology struggle with incorporating religion into their main theories, which reflect different views on religion’s importance and its overall role in contemporary societies. Some key concepts, such as ‘politicisation’ and ‘religionisation’, are also discussed. A brief overview of the scholarship of religion in Central and Eastern Europe since the fall of communism is used as an example of how the radically changed social and political context was reflected in the scholarship. The paper’s final section summarises current debates on religion, populism and culture in political science and sociology. It shows how a new way of communicating political messages produces complex and contradictory references to religion. While this is captured in the literature by interpreting religion as a cultural identity marker, the argument is that this should not be dissociated from the role of secular actors in imposing cultural features on some religions or political features on others.

This article serves to introduce a special issue of Religions, titled Music in World Religions. A 2015 article by religion scholar Isabel Laack claimed that the study of music and religion has been neglected by Laack’s peers in the field of religions. Responding to Laack, I argue that scholars of music have been making important contributions to the study of music and religion and, indeed, have been addressing the twelve specific topics she highlights for decades. After summarizing academic works which respond to Laack’s twelve categories of inquiry, I introduce each of the articles in this special issue, showing that each of these also address the gap in the literature that Laack perceived. Ultimately, I argue that transdisciplinarity in the study of music and religion is alive and well, and is exemplified both by historic writings and by those contained in Music in World Religions.

AbstractSpeaking of the number of religions in Indonesia, juridically, since the past until now Indonesia has not designated one particular religion as a state religion nor does it make Indonesia a religious state. The position taken by the Indonesian state is in line with the theory and conception of a symbiotic state, it can be seen with the emergence of laws that meet the needs of all religions in Indonesia. This paper will discuss the relationship between religion and the state in historical currents, as well as the guarantee of religious freedom in positive law and international conventions. The method used in discussing this matter is a normative research method, with primary legal materials consisting of laws and regulations and secondary legal materials consisting of literature literature. The approach used is a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The results showed that religion and state in Indonesia have a dynamic pattern from the beginning of independence to the present. The relationship of religion and the state, has a symbiotic pattern of mutualism. The state needs religion as a source of morality for the administration of the state and the social system of society, religion needs the state to facilitate worship and certain religious needs of each religion.

Religions are depositories of values. Reviewing literature from the past century, this article argues that there is considerable empirical support for the thesis that religion and related beliefs influence values and thus shape entrepreneurship. This article shows that: (1) various religions value entrepreneurship to different degrees; (2) different religions yield dissimilar patterns of entrepreneurship; (3) specialization along religious lines shapes entrepreneurship; (4) credit networks, employment networks, information networks and supply networks of co-religionists affect entrepreneurship; (5) religions provide opportunities for entrepreneurship; (6) religious beliefs may also hamper entrepreneurial spirit; and (7) religions have built-in mechanisms for the perpetuation of values. Regardless of whether a person is religious, he or she is influenced by the values propagated by religion.

Abstract Religion and literature is the study of interrelationships between religious or theological traditions and literary traditions, both oral and written, with special attention to religious or theological underpinnings of, influences upon, and reflections in, individual “texts” (oral and written) or authors’ oeuvres. This overview considers the origins and history of, and methods employed in, that scholarly enterprise, focusing upon the dual construals of “literature” in religious studies (as a body of sacred writings and as writing valued for artistic merit); the problematics of defining “religion”; the transformation of theology and literature as a “field” (pioneered by Nathan A. Scott Jr. et al.) to religion and literature; the affiliated fields of myth criticism, and of biblical reception; and the institutionalization, globalization, and future of the study of religion and literature.

Full text
Abstract:
The introduction to this special issue of the Victorian Popular Fictions Journal, “Religion and Victorian Popular Literature,” opens by using Mary Ward’s best-seller Robert Elsmere (1888) as a case study for considering how recent critical strategies for engaging with popular texts enable us to paint a different and more complex picture of the Victorian religious landscape. We then explain the different ways in which our international network of contributors reconceptualises the relationship of religion to popular literary genres including the transatlantic social gospel, science writing for children, and popular yoga texts. We identify how topics as diverse as astronomy, copyright, and disaster fiction, which have often been examined through a primarily secular lens, can be better understood by considering the role religion played in their formation and articulation within and through popular literature. Drawing together threads shared between the seven articles in the special issue, we outline its key thematic contributions in exploring the role of religion to the formation of new literary markets and genres, revising the “conflict thesis” between religion and science, and the importance of popular literary forms in constructing and communicating theological ideas, as well as responding to recent calls to decolonise Victorian Studies.

Abstract:
Spiritual literature takes the foremost role in the history of literature. Spiritual literature has the tendency to impact our spirit and leads us afloat on the ocean of happiness. Every religion has been at certain points of time propounded by a teacher and later spread throughout the globe by their students. However some of the worship methods predate the era of literature. Islam is a religion that grew through the teachings of Nabi. Many saints have expressed the immense state of spiritual attainment by forsaking the material joys of the world through their songs. Many religions have used the Tamil language as a medium of expressing their ideology. All religions are unified by their emotive spirituality. Dhayumanavar and Gunangudiyar occupy a significant position in the history of literature. Eventhough their means to spirituality differs they express similar spiritual experiences. The purpose of this article is to research on the similarity observed in their mode of prayer and descriptions in each of their Paraparakkanni.

Abstract:
This article investigates medieval Muslim literature on the study of non-Islamic religions through the writings of al-Biruni and al-Shahrastani in their dealing with Hind (India) and the nomenclature of world religions. I focus on their perceptions of monotheism and polytheism. My findings show that they used different approaches, categories, and classification models of world religious traditions in general, and of Hind’s religious traditions in particular. Al-Biruni classifies Indian religions according to the religious outlooks found in Hindu texts or sayings of Hindu philosophers/theologians and in the attitudes of ordinary people in a popular context. Al-Shahrastani categorizes the divisions and subdivisions of Hindu beliefs and practices according to types of “idol worshippers.” This article points out that they dealt with some conceptual issues in their presentations, such as “religious representation,” “intermediaries,” and “anthropomorphism.”
