  2. He believes and people believe because if you don`t know and understand other people’s religions you might recognize them as weird because you think what their doing is weird but in reality, it`s just part of their culture and religion. For example, the culture and religion of Mexico, they might do some dances and believe that there are some mythical creatures like the famous myth the Chupacabra. That`s one of their many beliefs and stories you might learn if you visit that country.

He said, “the more we know about each other (religion) the more we will respect each other. Some religious differences are the problems to divisions and conflict between people.

  29. I think MR.Hanes believes that it was important because it is showing and telling us what is going on in society today. It is just preparing us for what we might meet in the future

  30. I think the author believes that people should know others religions because if you were out and about and you actually did something to hurt maybe a friend of yours. I actually learned that that’s why at Disneyland when they tell you to come or point in the direction you should be going they are not allowed to use only one finger to point. That is because its a sign of rudeness and disrespect in other religions and cultures.

  34. L believe that he want’s to make it so people can stop fighting just because of the things we believe in, so that we can all socialize like we were meant to. However I have to say that disrespecting someone else’s religion is a very bad thing to do and can even cause wars. Religion is an important thing to us and if you are not respecting other people’s religions then unless the religion has cannibalism, sexual abuse, and incest or something then you are no better than those people.

  35. We should respect each others religions because you would probably want them to respect your religions. Everyone has their own religion and they can because it’s what they believe. And no, we don’t have to but its kind to.

  36. because the author wants to understand people with other beliefs and wants people to understand because people cant judge each others beliefs and they cant judge on how they act.some religions like Christianity catholic and more other religions they believe in gods and Jesus and you cant judge their beliefs. people conflict on their beliefs because some people don’t believe in other peoples beliefs. some religions have traditions also.

  37. Charles Haynes was saying that people that are religious have a right to be. And no one shouldn’t be judged by how they are and what they are.

  38. Religions are important to most of the world so we all need to understand. Learning to respect different beliefs besides our own.

  47. Charles Haynes made a very good point about Religion becoming a major part of the entire world and that we should respect all people equally even if they have different beliefs than you do. Also there is a good percentage that some people still choose not to believe in any religion

  48. Because one day were going to need each other in life.We all are going to have to work together one day in our life.

  49. he said religion plays a key role in events. He said the more you know about each other religion the more you respect each other. Religion is important to the worlds population.

  50. He is trying to say that we need to respect others cause were the same but diffrent relagion we need to know hoe to respect cause were the same but diffrent.

  51. Charles Haynes probably meant was people shouldn’t judge other people’s religion because they might think that there religion is not good for them.

  52. Charles Haynes believes that people should understand they should respect religions different from their own, becuse religion helps shape different events.

  53. since its important to most of the worlds population it is essential that we all understand as much as possible not only what religion is but also the varying beliefs practice worldwide.Throughout history religion has played a key role in shaping events.

  54. If we respect other peoples beliefs, then they will respect ours. If we would do that, then maybe our world would have a big change!

The author, Charles Haynes, believes people should understand the religions of others because, “Throughout history, religion has played a key role in shaping events.” Also he said “And, just as understanding others’ religious principle is important, so, too, is learning to respect beliefs different from our own.”

  56. To know what to do if you join a family in a feast so you know their religions. To know what they go in their religions. So you could probably join in their religion.

  57. He believes that different religion is important because we should all believe in different gods or many gods. Religion is also important because it is an important about history.

Throughout history religion has played a key role in history.The author Charles Haynes believes that people should understand the religions of others because that way we are taking interests in others and respecting each other.

  59. The author of this article, Charles Haynes, explains why it is important to understand other peoples’ religions by saying you could get along with them easier if you were to respect their beliefs. Instead of causing disputes, havoc, and even violence, you could simply take consideration and acknowledge their faith in their religion. This way there would be no conflicts in who believes in who and a much higher degree of peace would accompany this world.

  60. the reason the author wants us to know about religion its cause he wants us the reader to know and understand the point on how other people in the world have their religion and other thing.

  61. It is important to understand other peoples religions because you will understand there believes you will understand them more

  62. I simply think charles is trying to tell us to respect others religions because they are just like you. You strongly believe in your religion just as they believe in they’rs. Charles is not saying to believe in they’re religion but to respect it as they do yours.

  63. I think Mr. Haynes wants people to understand each other’s religion so there aren’t conflicts or judgments about each other. When people don’t understand someone else’s religion they can think its weird or dumb but if they understood they wouldn’t judge.

  64. Because if everybody didn’t understand other peoples beliefs nobody would get along and the world would be full of hate and violence

  65. I think the other people should because they could learn new things. Like other peoples different belifs and there can also be arguments of whats right or wrong. Also poeple could know the different belifs and tell other people and it can all be one.

  66. If we understand everyone’s religion than we won’t have wars so often and we could understand why people do what they do. We would also be one united nation and the whole world would be at peace for a little while at least.

  67. Because he says that it could lead to wars. And because the more we understand each other the more we are likely to respect each other. And if we have respect for each other than there will be a lot more peace and a less war.

  68. Charles Haynes believes that we all should believe in the same religions so we can all get along more. He believes that by knowing each others likes will help all of us get along better.

  69. He believes people should understand the religions of others because it shows respect,peaceful coexistence,and it is important because it is what people believe in.

  70. He said understanding other people’s religion is important because it helps people respect each other. I agree with him. I agree because understanding other people’s religion does help you communicate better. You would have more things in common too. Even if they don’t believe the same thing, people would understand why and how they believe that religion.

  71. this author thinks we should understand others religion because then we cant interfere and somr are fasinating

  72. People should believe the religion of others because, not all people respect others because of their religion. But, if people could listen to their religion and understand it, they could see what the other person sees and accept them for their ways. Another reason to believe another’s religion is to actually learn from it. Like the Catholics and Christians are nearly the same but still have the different stories on the same topic.

  73. He believes that people should understand religions of other people because if we learn what other people do, we will most likely respect them more. Religious differences have often been the source of division and conflict. That’s why he thinks we should learn more about other peoples religion.

  74. He believes people should understand the religion of others because if you didn’t know the religion and you said something and you didn’t know they were religious, they could take it personal.

  75. So he can believe about people religion and understanding them more. What they do on their on that day what they eat and how they celebrate it.How each of their traditions are different from each others.Respect them of what other people believe in.

  76. He says that we need to understand that varing belifs that are practiced world wide. And to respect belifs different from our own. The more we know about one another the more we respect one another.

  77. I think he believes that because he respects everyone. And so there wouldn’t be so much conflicts in the world everyone should respect one anothers religion.

  78. I think people are in-titled to there own opioin, just by respecting someones culture dosen’t mean you have to believe what they think or follow what they do culture wise. but, you shouldn’t talk bad about there culture or try to change them. Respecting is not being rude or hating them for there culture treat them how you would treat someone the same culture as. For instants if i’m christian and some ones cathlic i try to find something in comen with our culture. so people should not be critisied or hated for there culture.

  79. He believes people should understand the religions of others because, ignorance leads to hate and intolerance, while understanding offers respect and also coexistence

  80. i think understanding other people religion, show respect for the person religion. you understand them better.

  81. Charles Haynes believes in the importance of understanding religions because, in the writing he wrote it said we should learn about other religions so we can respect other people religions other than ours. He also said if we learned more about them we will learn more about their religion.

  82. It is important because he says that most people believe in faith. And some people do not follow faith. He also says It will help us understand the place of religion in history and society. So that’s why it is important.

  83. He believes we should understand the religions of others because if we understand the religions of others then we will respect others

  84. I believe he means that you should interact with people with a different religion than you. Learn about their religion and tell them about yours.

  85. since is the most important to the word. History has played a key relo in spaing. They were the most important in the word. They was the most peopel that mand the things in the word. Since was the thing in the word.

  86. He thinks its important to respect other people’s religions and beliefs so we can all be in peace. He stated that most conflict starts from diverse opinions in beliefs and religion.

  87. Charles Haynes says that it is important to understand the religious of others because it is more likely that we will respect each other. Also to respect and understand beliefs that are different from our own and peaceful coexistence .

  88. He believes that we should know other religions so we can show respect to other religions the more we know about peoples religions the more we will respect them.

  89. I think he believes people should understand the religions of others is so we can all have God in our hearts. So we can become religious and start believing in church and God.

  90. I believe the reason why charles haynes wants people to respect other religions is for them to not be in arguments or have enemies wich there diffrences made and also to be friends with anybody no matter what religion they are.

  91. i think charles hayes believes people should understand religions of others, cuz you shouldn’t judge someone or make fun of way they are, cuz it’s their own religion. & they want to follow it, cuz it came from, usually, their country they are from or relitives are from.

  92. Charles Haynes believes people should understand the religion of others because it is learning how to respect the beliefs of others. Also as the more that we learn and know the better we get at respecting each other.

  93. because they want to learn and they are doing so cause mabeyb they want to learn more about diffrent peoples religions

  94. He believes people should respect the fact that people believe in something that is important in worlds population and that is being religious. But sometimes people don’t believe in religious things its not other peoples jobs to tell them what to believe in everyone has a saying in what to think and believe.

  95. because some religions are really important to others (Just because some people believe other gods doesn’t mean and religions don’t make them different)

  96. Charles Haynes believes we should better ourselves by studying each others religions so that everyone respects one another for what religion they have chosen and knowing their path.

  97. Charles Hayes says that because even though people believe in different things they should know the reasons why.That way you can understand their reasoning for what they believe in.This can also help to respect each other.

  98. Why he wants us to find out other people’s beliefs is so we can find out more about them. When we do this we can connect and show more respect to them, there beliefs and religion.

  99. I think the Charles Haynes is saying that the understanding of religion is important because it can help us learn about others and there history. It can also help us learn about where they come from. Understanding the beliefs of others is as important as believing our own, and can be equivalent to understanding others. Religion is a world wide practice so it is important to understand how it affects the everyday life of others.

  100. I think why he believes that is for people to understand other religions because you might find it interesting to you.Also for people not to judge somebody by what they believe in.

  101. I think the author believes why people should understand the religions of others because people can’t help what religion they are what they believe. It shouldn’t change anything.

  102. Because the more we know the more respect people get. Also peaceful coexistence. Religion has also played a key role in shaping events.

  103. He believes we should all understand each others religions, so we respect what their beliefs are. It’s an important part of principle, because we could learn a lot from learning from others religions.

  104. 2B
    G.A
    It would be important to understand other religions due to the fact that ignorance can lead to disagreement, and disagreement can lead to fighting. We already have enough problems. We don’t need another Civil War. That is my understanding.

  105. We should understand others and their religion because it takes place out through history. It helps us get along with others when we understand them more.

  106. I think what Charles Haynes is trying to say is that if we don’t have respect for each other beliefs or religions we won’t have any respect for each other . Charles Haynes said ” The more we know about one another ,the more likely we are to respect each other” ,and I agree with that because if nobody has any respect for peoples beliefs or religion than nobody will respect anyone .

  107. Charles Haynes believes that people should understand the religion of others because it will create respect for others and their beliefs. f there is respect for others and their beliefs less conflict will happen between people and even Countries. The less conflict there is between people the less hate there is in the world.
