  List a television show, a book, a friend’s opinion, or some other source that illustrates each of the six worldviews listed. Example: Deism—Neil Armstrong, the first man to step on the moon, indicated on a NASA form that he was a deist.

  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

  Monotheism: The Chosen – biblical interpretations, life of Jesus Christ as Messiah.

  Deism: friend who believes God no longer “speaks” to humanity. No longer is an active participant in reality.

  Naturalism: Big Bang Theory

  Nihilism: Gilmore Girls

  Existentialism: Modern society “Speak my truth,” “In my ‘Doing Me’ era.”

  Pantheism: friend who believes God is energy. “We are all God.”

  From what I understand, I believe Judaism and Christianity are most similar because they believe in the same God and both accept the Old Testament as the word of God. Christianity and Nihilism are the two least alike. A Christian believes in God, but a nihilist believes in their self.

  Monotheism and deism – belief that there is one God but differ in the understanding of that one God’s role with the universe and the human experience

  I believe that the two worldviews that are the most similar are Christianity and Judaism. Both believe in the same God and both use the Old Testament as a religious text.
  The two most dissimilar are Christianity and Nihilism. Christians believe in a higher authority and a set of moral truths while Nihilists believe that all traditional moral values are subjective to how one feels.

  Judaism and Christianity are the most similar.. both believe in a personal monotheistic God who desires reconciliation and both embrace the belief in a Savior/Messiah to save them from their sins and restore the world to Gods intended result.

  The most dissimilar are Christianity and Nihilism. Nihilism, like its name it believes in nothing except self and is the closest to an Anti Christ spirit of anarchy. It is a hopeless worldview with no belief in purpose.

  I believe Monotheism and deism are most closely related because they both believe in a supreme being/creator of the universe.
