Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
Monotheism and Deism are the most alike because both have central beliefs in one God.
Monotheism and Existentialism would be the most different because monotheists believe that there is purpose in life that comes from one God while existentialists don’t believe there is a God and there’s no real purpose in life. -
Deism and Monotheism because they both believe one god created the universe.
Monotheism and Existentialism are the most different because monotheists believe there is a purpose of life and existentialists believe life is meaningless -
I would say that Monotheism and Deism are the most alike in that they both assert that there is a Creator God. The difference lies in his involvement in his creation. Is he a personal God or a distant god? The two that are most dissimilar in my view would be Monotheism and Nihilism. In monotheism purpose and identity are derived from an active sovereign God whereas in a nihilistic worldview, nothing actually has a set purpose and there is no objective truth and so the individual derives meaning from whatever they please and they also set whatever standard for truth they please.

Naturalism/ Existentialism & Christianity/ Nihilism

I think Deism and monotheism are very similar because they believe in a single God who created the world. The difference is how the Lord interacts with the world he created.
The two that are the most different would probably be existentialism and monotheism. Really, existentialism and anything else could be the most dissimilar, because if you are an existentialist, you see the world as meaningless objectively, and anything you find significance in is from within.
