“Just as the adjective ‘Russian’ in ‘Russian studies,’ indicates that Russia is the object of study, not that people who study it are necessarily Russian, the adjective ‘religious’ in religious studies signals that the object of this study is religion. It does not imply that those who teach religious studies are themselves either religious or not. The aim of the academic study of religion is not to defend or promote a specific religion but to describe and understand religion in contextual and cross-culturally accurate terms.” –American Academy of Religion, “AAR Religious Literacy Guidelines”
