Can someone help me on a really confusing APWH CC Prompt? </p>
Karl Marx asserted, “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” Using ONE of the religions below, compare and contrast the role the religion has played in promoting or impeding societal change. Consider specific revolutions, texts, and religious leaders in answering the question.
-Christianity
-Buddhism
-Hinduism
-Islam
-Judaism</p>
I’m going to write for Christianity, but I am confused about the “compare and contrast” part. If it was DISCUSS instead, it would be much easier… so is this the right thesis?</p>
Although the way Christianity impeded and promoted societal change was different in its role of priests, their similarities in revolutions and warfare prevailed.</p>
OR is it,</p>
Although Christianity impeded change through its strict social structure and degree of centralization, it promoted change through the Protestant Reformation in the mid 1400’s.</p>
