Judaism and Islam
The proposal for a new approach to these two religions is very similar to what has been suggested for the Christian churches. The persons interested should first follow and learn as much as possible the doctrine, rules and teachings of their own Churches. Only later on should they increase their knowledge by researching documents and information –old and new- about aspects of their religions that are not especially welcome to their clergy.
Buddhism, Taoism
Here too the proposal for a new approach to these two philosophies/religions is very similar to what has been suggested for the Christian churches. The persons interested should first follow and learn as much as possible the doctrine, rules and teachings of their own Churches. Only later on should they increase their knowledge by researching documents and information –old and new- about aspects of their religions that are not especially welcome to their clergy.
Confucianism, Shinto
The approach to a better and more complete understanding of these two religious philosophical movements is, on one hand more difficult because Shinto and Confucianism have no unified doctrine, rules or teachings; on the other hand, it is easier because their clergy is less intolerant, and would not oppose anybody wanting to research the history of their movement. Here again, extended personal research and introspection are the way to follow.
