American Religion: major ideas in the book American history and religious liberty the US Constitution and religion Protestants and different Protestant groups in the US Catholics in the US Jews and their religious faith religious diversity in the US characteristics of American religious beliefs

Lead-In • What are the most popular religions in the world? • What are the three main faiths in USA?

世界性三大宗教为基督教(Christianity) 伊斯兰教(Islam)和佛教(Buddhism)，中国人习惯上称中国有五大宗教，即天主教、基督教(指基督新教)、伊斯兰教、佛教和道教Taoism，而实际上只是在世界三大宗教基础上加上了中国传统宗教——道教。西方人还将中国人传统信仰“儒教”也算作一大宗教。这些宗教都是由民族宗教或古代宗教发展演变而来的.

Three main faiths in USA 三大宗教信仰 • — Protestants 新教 • ----Baptist ----Methodist …….. • — Catholics 天主教 • — Jews 犹太教

American mainstream culture was developed from “_______" culture and people who settled in the 13 North American colonies that would become the United States were mostly _____________________ believers. WASP?? White Anglo-Saxon Protestant盎格鲁撒克逊裔的白人新教徒

Religious Liberty—Para1,2 • How many kinds of Protestants are mentioned by the middle of the 18th century? • What’s the relationship between different kinds of Protestants? • Great Awakening

Early American religions • By the middle of the 18th century, many different kinds of Protestants lived in America. • Lutherans from Germany • Dutch Reformed Church荷兰归正宗flourished in New York and New Jersey • Presbyterians长老会 from Scotland • Huguenots胡格诺会from France • Congregationalists公理会Puritans dominated in Massachusetts, New England area • Although the Church of England was an established church in several colonies, Protestants lived side by side in relative harmony.

The Great Awakening of the 1740s, a “revival ” movement which sought to breathe new feeling and strength into religion, cut across the lines of Protestant religious groups, or denominations. 18世纪40年代的宗教大复兴运动力图把新的感觉和新的力量注入北美各殖民地人民的宗教信仰中去。这次“复兴”运动打破了新教各派的界限。

随着欧洲各国移民的源源不断到来,北美定居者不断向西部荒野地区挺进,许多人宗教观念开始淡薄起来. 这种情况引起宗教界的恐慌. 一些宗教狂热分子从南向北兴起向群众布道运动,以增强大家的宗教信仰. 这次复兴运动虽然没有达到预想的全部目的,但却唤醒了北美人民的民族意识,促进了美国革命的爆发.

Religious Liberty—Para3 • John Locke • John Locke reasoned that the right to govern comes from an agreement or “______________” voluntarily entered into by free people. _____________________made this idea seem natural to many Americans.

自然神论者推崇理性原则，把上帝解释为非人格的始因的宗教哲学理论。 • 自然神论,又称理神论。在《英语词典》中，把自然神论定义为“那些只承认一位上帝，不接受任何启示宗教的人们的观念”。自然神论反对蒙昧主义和神秘主义，否定迷信和各种违反自然规律的 “奇迹”；认为上帝不过是“世界理性”或“有智慧的意志”；上帝作为世界的“始因”或“造物主”，它在创世之后就不再干预世界事务，而让世界按照它本身的规律存在和发展下去；主张用“理性宗教”或“自然宗教”代替“天启宗教

What about the government’s attitude toward religion? Religious Liberty—Para5,6,8,9,10 • Declaration of Independence Among the rights that the new nation guaranteed, as a political necessity in areligiously diversesociety, wasfreedom of religion. • No special favor; No state-supported religion but,,, • Do not pay taxes but… in conclusion…
