Beliefs, Values, and Society
“Behavior is belief” in that “what is part of our culture is also part of our lived religion.”
--T. S. Eliot, Christianity and Culture, 104
“Culture is not simply a humanistic endeavor but is often the place where people within a society express, whether they realize it or not, their beliefs about God, the world, and themselves.”
--Stephen M. Garrett, “Pursing the Peace of the City”
