Religious symbols

Arby James Joyce's use of religious imagery and religious symbols in "Araby" is compelling. That the story is concerned somehow with religion is obvious, but the particulars are vague, and its message becomes all the more interesting when Joyce begins to mingle romantic attraction with divine love. "Araby" is a story about both wordly love and religious devotion, and its weird mix of symbols and images details the relationship--sometimes peaceful, sometimes tumultuos--between the two. In

Religious and Traditional Symbols in the Lottery Religious groups encourage and enforce conformity of their social norms and beliefs upon their members.

Parti Quebecois’ stance on religious symbols is that public employees and members of Government should be banned from wearing visible religious symbols. The Parti Quebecois believes that this would allow everyone to be treated equally, get rid of religious bias and protect religious neutrality.
