All religions need marketing to promote their faith. There 4 such big tools... [1] Showing 'western' white converts: Approx. 20,000 Americans get converted to Islam every year. Total convert, as per CNN report is close to 1/4 million in America. Approx. 17 million Americans practice Yoga which is core of Hinduism Approx 10 million Americans adhere to Buddhism. All the Gurus/religious leaders show these converts to attract new convert. [2] Propaganda that their religion has already revealed modern scientific truth-nothing can be more BS than this since none of the religious book contains any experimental data. This is to conform to authority of science which is universally accepted. [3] Appeal to authority-what western philosopher spoke on their religion. Most of the time it is out of context and concocted. For example Muslims use a quote from G B Shaw supposedly from a book :Genuine Islam"! I tried to find out whether G B shaw ever wrote that book.. None of the bibliography I have, shows that book by G B Shaw. I still can be wrong, but none of the GB expert could find that book for me or ISBN number. Hindus also do same - Business of religion is booming. In America Yoga is $3B market with 17 M followers. Muslims didn't invent any serious business like Hindus yet-so they are bit slow in conversion. In Barns and Noble -books by spiritual leaders are increasing in number. Does anybody have any business idea for atheism? Thanks Biplab |
