Religion is a source of contention and collaboration in today’s world more than ever. Religious competency enables one to be a successful participant in today’s global economy and community. Being able to discuss Taiwan’s religious character in English is beneficial to Taiwan’s soft power and global self-representation. It is also a topic every individual should be able to discuss. Learning this online allows the student the freedom to study at his/her own pace and form opinions without the pressure of classroom participation.
