Introduction Human rights are understood as rights which belong to an individual as a consequence of being human and for no other reason. Hence human rights are the rights people are entitled to simply because they are human beings, irrespective of their citizenship, nationality, race, ethnicity, language, gender, sexuality, or abilities; human rights become enforceable when they are codified as Conventions, Covenants, or Treaties, or as they become recognized as Customary International Law.

Estelle doesn’t believe in religions and thinks that they were just a clever way to control the vast majority of people by a few men who took advantage of the masses and gained power and wealth through terrifying them of God whom they should love and fear, which is another paradox she couldn’t swallow, as how can you fear what you love. Gordon Douglas is another writer who dedicated a lot of his time and works to debating the need for religions. He summarized his ideas in three concepts, first
(catholic versus protestant, Christian versus Muslim, mainline denomination versus cult) (Roberts, 1990). For the sociologist, beliefs are only small part of religion (Roberts, 1990). In modern society, religion is both a set of ideas (values, beliefs) and an institution (a set of social relationships) (Roberts, 1990).

The book Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth is a book that is written in a way that does not narrate Mohmand Gandhi’s life; but rather, it shapes a more interactive approach to not only educate readers, but to teach them the importance behind his philosophies. The book is structured in a way that shows readers the challenges that Gandhi faced and how these formulated his outlook on life. Moreover, he writes his book from a self-realization standpoint on how his teachings
church and state (Bilgrami, 2014). In other words, Secularism is one of political theories, which emphasizes on a separation of religion and politics, yet it is important to note that it neither aims to weaken religions nor decline of religious beliefs and practice (Beaufort, Hägg & Schie, 2008).

During the early chapters in The Complete Persepolis, Marjane talked
Throughout the third quarter, the World Religions course has introduced to me several practices, traditions, rituals, and beliefs. One fact that I have learned in World Religions that surprised me the most was the Kumbh Mela festival, held in India. The Kumbh Mela is held every twelve years on a rotational basis in four of the holiest Hindu places in India.
