Exercise 2

How can you promote dialogue among Jews, Muslims, Christians, and other faiths?

I would create a website of trivia of the different religions. I chose to do a website over a site just app as a website can be accessed on a smartphone and any computer where an app may not be accessible on a computer. The site would promote you with a fact or question about one of the three religions, Judaism, Muslim, and Christianity, it is then up to the user to decide which religion the question is about. By answering the question it is either revealed right or wrong in which is educating the user and maybe even opening their view on a specific religion and comparing theirs with others. Once the answer is revealed there is a comment section below where people may discuss and ask questions in a safe space.

Rather then just having an open forum to discuss religion I believe creating a fun game would make the topic lighter. By monitoring the questions making sure there is an even amount of question for each religion makes sure users are getting a fair view on each religion rather than a majority of one. The facts and questions themselves would, of course, stay on a positive note about the religions and stay away from political and war topics around religion. The overall goal is to create a playful positive environment to discusses and learn more about religion.
