More specifically, constructive alternativism relies on data in the form of descriptions, observations and characterizations about social experiences and personal relationships to identify beneficial interpretations.

Religion Meaning Ethics Future Monotheism Monotheism means the worship of one god. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all monotheistic religions: God demands an exclusive relationship with His followers and an acknowledgement of His unique power.
