Faith, Myth & Meaning
How do belief, symbol, and sacred story shape conflict, power, and the way people make sense of the world?
What can be counted: religious demographics, sacred sites, faith-framed violence, religious freedom, and what faith leaders and institutions say and do.
What moves people: end-times narratives, prophecy, messianic and civilizational framing, myth and symbolism in political speech, and the stories communities tell about who they are.
