Portal:Religious studies
The Division of Religious Studies is for multi-disciplinary and secular study of religion.
Within Wikiversity, the School of Theology can be distinguished from the Division of Religious Studies. The School of Theology is devoted to study of religion, spirituality, and deities. Studies within the School of Theology can be undertaken to help participants understand more truly one's own religious tradition or can be undertaken with the goal of preservation of religious traditions, reform of a particular tradition, or to apply the resources of a particular religious tradition to some present day problem, situation or need. In contrast, participants in the Division of Religious Studies never adopt the position of any particular religious tradition except in an attempt to understand it as a particular way of thinking.
The Wikiversity Division of Religious Studies works in close cooperation with the Wikiversity School of Theology.
