How?
I took a class called Death Across Cultures which focused on how different cultures honored or dealt with death
Japan my dood
Philosophy also already deals with all religions
Philosophy and religion shouldn't intersect
To focus on Christian studies for example is like having a fraction of a philosophy degree
You shouldn't be able to borrow my tax dollars to go major in religion.

Philosophy is literally the concept of how the world does and should work; it’s inherently multidisciplinary and nothing should be excluded from understanding it
philosophy encompasses religion
Not intersects
Philosophy is originally all sciences
Yes
It became more about theoretical speculation
And it branched out
It became pondering about spiritualist nonsense
Not nonsense
thats why I don't like it that much
philosophy and religion may overlap each other, it doesn't not mean one encompasses the other
Not entirely nonsense ***
Religion is a tricky thing to teach.... because SOMEONE will get their panties in a bunch that THEIR religion wasn't taught (or taught right)
I need to do homework so I can’t get into this
Philosophy of religion literally encompasses religion.
For example I was a staunch atheist before I learned about Socrates and Descartes
I am a purely materialistic person so entirely nonsense for me @Gilgamesh
I see
Philosophy is more open to interpretation.... Religion.... not so much in some cases
Not like greedy materialist
Socrates' logic ringed true for me even as a staunch atheist at the time.
I believe everything can be explained by natural means
what do you define as natural?
Even if you don't believe the stories of religion you can still enjoy them or the morals behind them..... I love Greek Mythology even if I don't believe they are real
^
I enjoy stories
David and Goliath is a great story even if you aren't religious
But nothing more
Look
It's easier to call that naturalism instead of materialism.
Socrates was purely logic based
How can something come from nothing?
