A major theme among philosophers of religion in the West has been that of God, including questions about the nature and existence of God, challenges to the existence of God, language about God, and so on.

I talked to him about realizing more love and fun into regular life. Although a majority of Muslims are of Pakistani (58%) origin, 9.8% are Arab, 7.8% are White European and 7% are African. The majority of Scottish Muslims are members of families who immigrated in the late 20th century. According to information from the 2011 Scottish census, 71% of Muslims in Scotland consider their only national identity to be Scottish or British (or any combination of UK identities). Taken together, Glasgow and Edinburgh are home to around 60% of all Muslims in Scotland. Edinburgh is home to the second highest population of Muslims in Scotland. Muslims in Scotland in 2011 were less likely to be employed full-time (31%) than the general population (51%). Contributing factors for this include Muslims being more likely to be students (19%) than the general population (6%), and 25% of Muslim women ‘looking after the home or family’, in comparison to 5.6% of women from the overall population.

The Island of Creation is a vast island located at the edge of the world and home to the Sisters of Fate. Almost all constitutions in the world make some reference to religion, mostly in a manner that accommodates religious beliefs and practices, while deeply shaping their structure. In sub-Saharan Africa, for example, the study finds only minor gender differences in both Christian and Muslim populations (with the exception of weekly worship attendance) because of the generally high degree of religious commitment among both genders. Western Christianity is a subset of Christianity, originally based on the Latin Christianity of the Catholic Church, as opposed to Eastern Orthodoxy – from which it was divided during the Great Schism of the 11th century – and various other non-western Christian movements.

Catholic missionaries often went to great lengths to counter what they perceived influence of rival religions, such as Islam and Protestantism. Since Muslims had no place in the Catholic Church, which maintained great influence over the state, Muslims were often excluded from education and important jobs in the government. By some accounts, the Greeks were the first to place lit candles on cake as a way to symbolize the glowing moon.
