Key Facts

The study of religion is important because it concerns the deepest questions humans can ask, and it is one of the most ubiquitous aspects of the human experience.

Faith has motivated the greatest acts of philanthropy and the most intractable conflicts in history.

Religion is everywhere – in popular music, movies, politics, advertising and television shows. It is the backbone of all culture, and one cannot understand our own culture or others without studying religious faith.

The study of theology sharpens one’s critical thinking, critical reading and writing skills, which are necessary skills in any profession.
