American and Global Religion

I believe that many of the ways we saw religion affecting the United States, and how Americans thought and acted, in the documentary still apply today. In fact, some of the same conflicts between older religion and science still exist today. There are still politicians who don't believe the theory of evolution, or who believe many of the things in the Bible that are contradictory to one another. People also continue to believe that their religion is right and that others are wrong, and are willing to have wars and conflicts over this. Religious conflicts, sometimes involving the United States, continue to exist today, including all of the various conflicts between Israel and other Arabic countries, conflicts between Buddhist and Hindu groups in Asia, and conflicts between Western countries and radical Islamist groups.
There are also many people who cling to their viewpoints mainly because of religion, often seen in topics such as sexual education, gender and sexuality, and even movies and entertainment. As such, people who refuse to accept change in their religion, and who feel that all Americans should follow the same religious practices as they do, still cause many issues in modern society. The best way forwards from here would be if people learned to accept divides between their personal religion and other aspects of society, and understand that what they believe should be kept in their personal lives.
