but the key underlying point in this class and the previous one with jonestown- and chris's comment was also a very helpful way to kind of end this class- that hey, folks, you know, we're not just- you know, it's just not hanging out getting humanities credit or three units of credit. we have to pay attention to religion- it can't just be a privatized thing in a free society. maybe it was okay when vastly everybody was protestant or something, you know, 150 years ago. but as we become more religiously diverse, as we see more pressures on people, we are going to see more extreme kinds of religious behavior. so that's the power of religious belief, and we'll keep on it in the next class, looking at islam.
