Create a religious autobiography. The paper requires you to reflect in a more critical fashion upon your personal belief system. Using the things you learned in this course, explain how your personal religious beliefs may have changed or evolved over the course of your life, and especially during this course.

Your reflection should go beyond simple recitations of religious doctrine and dogma, and should focus more carefully on answering how you came to believe what you believe. For example, were you were born into a particular religious tradition or did you make a conscious decision to convert to another tradition?

The paper should also include research indicating the origin of your faith system. If you are a member of a particular religious denomination, you should research the roots of that denomination. How did it begin? When did it begin? Did your denomination split off from another established denomination? Did it go through a period as a “cult” or a “sect”?

In this assignment, you should strive to address any “detailed ignorance” you may have regarding your own religious faith tradition. Finally, please reflect on your personal religious world-view. Are you a religious exclusivist, inclusivist, or a pluralist? If so, why?
