Since 1492, religions have become dramatically dislocated from their sites of origin through conversion and emigration.
![Page 7: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why is Judaism considered an Ethnic Religion?
• Major holidays are based on events in the
agricultural calendar of the religion’s
homeland in present-day Israel
![Page 8: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• 2 holiest days Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur come in the autumn (hope for
crops being planted)
• Passover (date it begins every year)
derived from farmers making an offering
(barley) of the first fruits to God in the
spring
![Page 9: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Judaism uses a lunar calendar (29 days a
month) which gets out of step with agriculture
season so the Jewish calendar solves this by
adding an extra month seven out of every 19
yrs.
![Page 10: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Judaism is an exception to ethnic religions in that more
Jews practice Judaism outside its place of origin and
Judaism is widely distributed.
![Page 11: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Animism and folk
religions
Animism: certain
inanimate objects
possess spirits and
souls (ethnic)
These spirits live in
rocks and rivers,
mountain peaks,
heavenly bodies,
forests and swamps.
![Page 12: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Sub-Saharan African is the greatest surviving stronghold of animism both in terms of numbers of adherents and in percentage of total population.
• (esp. Mozambique and Madagascar)
![Page 13: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Christmas around the world?
![Page 14: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Animism and Death
Most animistic belief systems hold that the spirit survives physical death.
1. The spirit is believed to pass to an easier world of abundant game or ever-ripe crops,
2. while in other systems, the spirit remains on earth as a ghost.
![Page 16: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• From the belief in the survival of the dead arose the practice of offering food, lighting fires, etc., at the grave, at first, maybe, as an act of friendship or of ancestor worship. The simple offering of food or shedding of blood at the grave develops into an elaborate system of sacrifice.
![Page 17: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• But all is not finished with the passage of the soul to the land of the dead. The soul may return to avenge its death by helping to discover the murderer, or to wreak vengeance for itself. There is a widespread belief that those who die a violent death become malignant spirits and endanger the lives of those who come near the haunted spot.
• In Malay folklore, the woman who dies in childbirth becomes a pontianak, a vampire-like spirit who threatens the life of human beings.
• People resort to magical or religious means of repelling spiritual dangers from such malignant spirits.
![Page 18: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• It is not surprising to find that many peoples respect and even worship animals often regarding them as relatives. It is clear that widespread respect was paid to animals as the abode of dead ancestors.
![Page 19: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Shintoism is the Japanese animistic religion..
• Shinto is a religion in where actions and ritual, rather than
words, are of the utmost importance. Shinto is characterized
by the worship of nature, ancestors, polytheism, and
animism, with a strong focus on ritual purity, involving
honoring and celebrating the existence of Kami.
![Page 20: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Kami are defined in English as "spirit", "essence" or
"deities", that are associated with many understood formats;
in some cases being human like, some animistic, others
associated with more abstract "natural" forces in the world
(mountains, rivers, lightning, wind, waves, trees, rocks). It
may be best thought of as "sacred" elements and energies.
Kami and people are not separate, they exist within the
same world and share its interrelated complexity.
![Page 21: Universalizing Religions - Edl€¦ · the heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals. Chinese Beliefs: Buddhism, Confucianism (ethnic), and Daoism (ethnic),](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1eb8acb956548ff2f9ca7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
