Hi! I find your answer very interesting. I'm a convinced atheist but I teach in a catholic school. Even if I don't believe in God, working with Catholics made me aware of the importance of spirituality in teenageer's life. I'm more tolerant now and I even find history of Religion to be fundamental in our own History. But if we can talk about history of religion or the impact of Religions in the society, talking about the "science of religion" bothers me a little. Science is Science and Religion is Religion. (Yes, I'm a scientist and an atheist, God help me!!!). Bye, Grain de Sable
En fait c'était science plutôt comme dans anthropologie, étude des croyances des différents peuples. Pas comme dans la religion est une science. Beurk, non définitivement non. Quand la religion se mêle trop de science ça donne des terres plates et des animaux qui apparaissent soudain sur terre. Mauvais. Remarque, quand la religion se mêle de politique ça donne des croisades et des charria. Pas terrible non plus.
