But in the United States by Buddhism the number of influence than Buddhist number. Among them, there are 250000 people authentic Ephraim christians, the rest for the Tibetan mahayana north, and southern Buddhist. There are more than 500 Buddhist organizations (including national organizations have 40), nearly temple and thousands of Buddhist temples and do some meditation center. 1945 years later, the Japanese Buddhism on the west coast of the U.S. and Hawaii get development, Korea and Southeast Asian countries Buddhism is also beginning to affect the United States.

The second temple is the Great Stupa, a dome-shaped Buddhist monument from the Maurya Dynasty in Sanchi, India. The structure was built sometime from the 3rd C BCE to 1st C Ce,. Both of these monuments have many similarities and differences in structure and symbolism, but the dominant theme that ties them together is the idea that they connecting our real with the heavenly realm. These buildings came from completely different cultures, yet they have surprisingly similar styles. For example, both buildings require the visitor to first enter though a series of columns before reaching the main attraction.
HOW TO SHARE EVANGELICAL WORLDVIEW WITH LIBERATION THEOLOGISTS As is often the case, new interpretations or corrections of traditional christianity morph to fill a perceived void or special interest group agenda. In modern day, we see that Liberation Theology has moved into environmental concerns and the mainstreaming of marginalized members of our society. Latin revolutionary Che Guevara has been rediscovered as a representative icon of liberation of the poor and oppressed in present day North America. An obvious candidate for personal salvation would be someone who is actually preaching the Gospel and doesn’t know it. Two such groups would be secular activists and progressive Christians of faiths that emphasize social activism, yet have abandoned the revelation of the Bible’s truth.
Unlike the latter two however, Buddhism is not indigenous to China. It is a foreign import from northern India. As such it is representative of a strain in Chinese thinking that is receptive to accepting foreign ideas. (That said, some Buddhist doctrines were adapted in order to fit more successfully into the Chinese belief system.) Within five centuries of the opening of the Silk Road to Central Asia, Buddhism had become so prevalent in China that some scholars estimate as many as 90% of her population to have been converted to Buddhism.
In regards, politics go, the Puritans had some interesting views. As John Winthrop, in “a modell of Christian charity” said, the Puritans believed their moral and divine cause, i.e. creating a community of righteous Christians gave them justification to defeat violent “heathens” often times without fair treaty, negotiation, or any other semblance of normal politic. Indeed, they truly believed themselves to be a model for Christianity that the whole world would watching, as is exemplified in the “modell of a Christian charity”. Leaders of the Church were given excessive power.
Jefferson explains that the government should only interfere with religious freedom when it inferences with someone else’s natural right; thusly making the separation of church and state not absolute. Kennedy misinterpretation is unethical because it causes citizens to falsely believe that their religious freedom cannot be taken away. Romney misuses his information when he argues “[w]e should acknowledge the Creator as did the Founders –in ceremony and word. Romney is correct that a one of the Founders, such as Jefferson states [w]ell aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free...”. Jefferson does acknowledge that there is a God or Creator that gave human beings the freedom of thought.

Should Religion Play a Role in Politics? My view is that, in theory, religion should have no place at all in politics. Roughly, the idea is that religion concerns the private sphere: what pertains to me as an individual. Political life, by contrast, concerns the public sphere: what pertains to me as a member of a wider community (a city, state or nation) of individuals with diverse views on issues such as religion. This distinction seems necessary once we realize the hatred and violence historically associated with religious disagreements.
Who believed Christianity was fanatical & unreasonable, wrote the Encyclopedia and promoted religious toleration, but not superstition? Who discovered natural economic laws? “The state should not interrupt the free play of natural economic forces.” No regulation of govt, just “leave it alone” or “laissez-Faire”-let the people do as they choose. He wrote the book-“The Wealth of Nations.” Who believed women needed to be better educated (not stuck in the kitchen), equality of sexes? Who was for women’s rights coined the term “feminism”?
He opens his speech by acknowledging the role of religious groups in the building of the American society. This is an issue that had no coverage in Johnson’s address. While Reagan concentrates on religious beliefs as the instigators of social growth and development, Johnson preferred that use of education and riches as the means to achieve the same goal. This contrast is evident in the way these two presidents gave their opening speeches. The other big contrast between these two speeches is Reagan’s reiteration the freedom and liberty are things that can only be enjoyed with the full blessings of God (Rodgers, 2011, p164).
