    The pope is an example of a person with a monotheistic worldview. Some of our founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were deists. Carl Sagan is a modern-day example of a naturalist. Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols were modern day practitioners of nihilism. The eastern religion of Buddhism has much of its roots in existentialism. The musical group The Beatles ascribed to a pantheistic philosophy propagated by Mahareeshi Yogi in the 1960’s

    Monotheism – Christian Beliefs by Wayne Grudem is a book that describes a monotheistic belief

    Deism – Ben Franklin was a deist that believed in God, but not in any revelation of scriptures or prophesies

    Naturalism – Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species is a book detailing naturalism

    Nihilism – The Joker in The Batman Movie

    Existentialism – The Sopranos was possibly a show with an existentialism theme

    Pantheism – Gandhi was a pantheist

    Monotheism – The Holy Bible
    Deism – Thomas Jefferson and rejection of the miracles and revelation of the Gospel and “The Word of God” replacing with human reasoning.
    Naturalism – Darwinism and evolution all beginning from nothing.
    Nihilism – True atheists that go against anything with morals or values nothing. Father of nihilism is Nietschke

    I had to do some research on this as I was not familiar with a source that illustrates all of these. This is what I found based on the couple I did know along with doing research:

    Monotheism- The Chosen

    Deism- as the lecture stated Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin were prominent deists.

    Naturalism- Charles Darwin

    Nihilism- the movie Requiem for a Dream

    Existentialism- Soren Kierkegaard

    Pantheism- The Buddha docuementary

    I think a lot of people would say Christianity and naturalism but I think it would actually be Christianity and nihilism. The vast majority of the natural world can be explained through natural means, even by Christian standards but nihilism and Christianity are in stark contrast to each other when it comes to why things matter.

    I think Christianity and Judaism, One is directly based on the other and the difference solely relies on their views of one man and who he is. Ideally they have the same values and concerns with the world yet a different view on Jesus.

    There are several ways to answer this, but I’m going to go with….
    Nihilism and existentialism are the most similar because both basically view life as meaningless.
    Monotheism and naturalism are exceptionally dissimilar because they differ from the very beginning of existence.

    Monotheism and Deism are the most similar in that they both believe there is one God who does exist. Monotheism states that God is separate but involved with the universe while Deism states that God created an orderly world to operate on its own.

    Naturalism and Monotheism/Deism are the two most dissimilar worldviews. Naturalism states that matter is all that exists and that we just evolved from some particle of dust. Where with monotheism and deism we were created by a higher being (God).

    Most alike: Judaism & Christianity — believe in Messiah; obedience is central factor; returning Messiah will bring peace
    Dissimilar: Naturalism – matter is all that exists & Pantheism — everything that exists is God and matter is an illusion.
