3. Understand how historical processes such as colonialism, capitalism and globalization shape and are shaped by religion.
4. Challenge assumptions about what religion is, and its place in the world today (i.e. via values and practices embedded in contemporary political and ideological systems).
5. Gain perspective on how religion may be present in the subjective experiences and everyday life of the students themselves.
6. Learn about the world’s vivid religious diversity and modestly situate religious traditions and landscapes in historical and global contexts.
7. Engage critically in contemporary public debates (outside academia) about, for example, religion and secularism, religious pluralism, piety expressions in public spaces, and science and religion.
