REL 100/119 - Religion and How to Create One (Core/First-Year Seminar)

Three or Four Credits
Fall Semester

Is there a future for religion in the 21st century? This course will consist of a semester-long conversation—fueled by readings and a lot of writing—about the nature of spirituality and religion. To promote deep learning about how religions work and why they might still be valuable to our society, the class will see if it can develop a new religion, one that might better meet its generation’s need for a way to make sense of—and meaning for—their lives.
