This document discusses religious persecution that occurred in early America, particularly by the Puritans. The Puritans were described as intolerant and often punished other religious groups like the Quakers and Baptists that settled with them. Most Quakers and Baptists were shunned from settlements, and in one instance four Quakers were hanged. The Puritans were not very tolerant of other religious groups in early America.

1. Religious Persecution
Even though they were attempting to flee from religious persecution in Europe, Some failed to find that salvation, while others went from being
persecuted to being the persecutors. One of the most prominent groups to persecute others in America were the puritans. The average Puritan was
described as "cold, hard, bigoted, unimaginative, humorless–terrified by human sexuality and the enemy of all fun" (Religion and American Politics
citation). The Puritans were not very tolerant and often punished other religious groups that settled with them; mainly the Quakers and Baptists. Most
Quakers and Baptists were shunned from the settlements however, one event resulted in the hanging of four Quakers ( Religion and American Politics
citation). Before

2. Cause Of Extremism In Canada
Apart from these initiatives Canada's orientation to countering radicalization and/or extremism is largely based on a law–and–order approach. Despite
clear indications that educational institutions are a major recruitment ground for extremists and that education has a major role to play in countering
radicalization not much attention has gone into seeking educational solutions (Naseem and Arshad–Ayaz, 2016). Most education ministries and teacher
education programs have not made it a priority to look into developing critical skills in the students and pre– and in–service teachers with which they
could understand and counter radicalization of youth. Topics such as radicalization, extremism, andterrorism are under–theorized and, at best, taught
under 'difficult/controversial' issues to teach (Gereluk, 2012).

This scholarly interest has resulted in a spate of research output from multiple disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. There are two ubiquitous trends
in the literature on extremism and terrorism. First, a majority of the conversations locate the causes of contemporary extremism and radicalization in
the religious edicts of one religion namely, Islam (Parent and Ellis, 2011). Second, a large number of

3. Atheism Essay
Let's start off by explaining what atheism is, it's when you don't believe in any form of an "Intelligent Creator" or God, as usually referred to as. The
word atheism comes from the root word "theism", which is when you believe in a God, or numerous Gods depending on the religion, and the prefix
"a", which means "not". There are no set practices of atheism, or a set list of beliefs. To be an atheist you must believe what you would like and simply
live your life without constraints based on what you believe is good or bad, not what you are told is good or bad. There is a constant debate against
atheism from the theist side, because both sides' arguments are polar opposites and each believes their side of the argument is 100% valid. I will...show

Another inevitable and unanswerable debate is the infamous, "What happens when you die?" This is one of the most common and, in my personal
opinion, foolish arguments you can have against anyone whether a theist or atheist. Quite frankly, there isn't much to say on this topic, every religion
has their own beliefs on the afterlife, as well as ranging from atheist to atheist. The bottom line is, nobody knows. There is NO WAY to know what
happens after you are dead, so arguing about it as if your side of the argument is 100% valid is completely and utterly foolish, whether from an atheist
or a theist. Now it's time to bust some myths. A lot of theists argue that withoutgod, you are amoral, can also be immoral depending on the person you
are arguing with, which makes you more prone to violence. After the statement one of the 1st things the theist will bring up is an example,
primarily Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust. This is a direct quote from Hitler himself: "I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will
of the Almighty Creator." (Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 2) As you can see it's the polar opposite; with religion comes the wrath of the
gods. Hitler openly stated, as quoted above, that everything he did was in the name of the lord to eviscerate the sin from the world. Some good
examples of violence in the name of God are the Crusades, the Salem Witch Trials, the Palestinian–Israeli Conflicts, the Spanish
