Just finished writing a post so not bothered to elaborate on this...

In this world, there are people who see the world in absolutes and those that see things as more relative. But do people have these contrasting views because of their religion or is it due to other factors.
I personally would think that it would be because of their religious affiliations. Religions such as christianity and islam often have many concepts of absolutism (is that a word?); God, the ONE creator, Good vs Evil, Man and Women, heaven and hell, all of which are very absolute terms. Even Eastern beliefs include hints of absolutism, i.e. the absolute four noble truths and the
eightfold path. 
Althought life may not just be a string of absolutes (questions such as is truth absolute, is morality absolute, is human nature absolute arise), i just seems to be a very interesting thought. I also wonder if relavatism and religion would every work together. 
...i need a philosopher...
