Understanding religious human traditions is of great value in and of itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As our \u201cglobal village\u201d becomes increasingly smaller, opportunities for interaction with people of other cultures and faiths is constantly increasing. Especially in view of recent acts of violence perpetrated in the name of religion, it is crucial that we make greater efforts to understand one another better by studying both familiar religious traditions and prominent ones from other cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding about religions is important, whether one is planning for a career in medicine, politics, law, business, or something else. The study of religion at Butler University cultivates critical thinking, textual analysis, debating skills, curiosity, open-mindedness, ethics, decision-making, and understanding of other cultures and ways of life\u2014skills that will serve students well in any profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"acc-flex-container\">\n\t<div class=\"acc-title-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n\t\t<button id='block_acf-block-661d49665863b-acc-row' class='acc-row' type='button' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='block_acf-block-661d49665863b_acc-content-panel'>\n\t\t\t<div id='block_acf-block-661d49665863b-acc-title' class='acc-title'>\n\t\t\t\tWhat Is Involved in Studying Religion at University?\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" id='block_acf-block-661d49665863b-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/wp-content\/plugins\/butler-acf-blocks-new\/assets\/images\/nav_main_icon_open.png' \/>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div role=\"region\" aria-hidden='true'\n\t\tid='block_acf-block-661d49665863b-acc-content-panel' class='acc-panel' aria-labelledby=\"block_acf-block-661d49665863b-acc-row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>For some, the assumption is that majoring in Religious Studies will be an advanced form of Sunday school. For others, there is the suspicion that the academic study of religion is dangerous and asks questions incompatible with faith. Neither of these positions accurately represents what is involved in the academic study of religion.<br>Studying religion at a university such as Butler means looking at religious beliefs, scriptures, and practices, as well as the relationship of religion to culture, politics, and society, &nbsp;in a careful, analytical, academic manner. While this is in no way antithetical to faith, it clearly will be challenging to any student, whether they are religious or not. The study of religious traditions at a college level means examining them in detail, both from the perspective of adherents themselves and from a critical, literary, sociological, anthropological, and\/or historical perspective. Doing so often means asking difficult questions, but the exploration of such questions is rewarding-just ask our students! At Butler, we seek to provide a context in which students can express their differing viewpoints in a way that leads to fruitful dialogue, learning, and mutual understanding.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t( function( $ ) {\n\t\t\tlet panel = document.getElementById('block_acf-block-661d49665863b-acc-content-panel');\n\n\t\t\t\/*\n\t\t\t * Need to set a value for maxHeight to initialize the accordion properly.\n\t\t\t * If we don't include this conditional, the accordion doesn't nicely transition to open\/close on the first click.\n\t\t\t *\/\n\t\t\tif ( 1 == 0 ) {\n\t\t\t\tpanel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ?
