There has been lots of change between 19th and 20th centuries. 1882- Women could keep property when married. Equal Pay Act (1970) and Sex Discrimination Act (1975) gave women full rights. |
| Why attitudes have changed? | During the war women had to take on roles men usually did. Showed they did them just as well. The suffragettes showed women no longer wanted to be treated badly. |
| Catholic Attitudes | Men and women should have equal roles and rights in society. Do not think this is the case of Church leadership. They point to the fact that Jesus personally nominated Peter to lead the Church. Only men can be priests. -Men and women created on same day (Genesis). Made in God's image, so equal. -Jesus' closest followers (apostles) were all men and priests follow on from them. |
| Traditional Protestant attitudes | Evangelicals see men and women as having different roles so they can't be equal in religion. Women bring up children an men provide for the family. Only men are Church leaders. -St Paul teaches that women should not speak or teach in Church -Men were made before women (Genesis) so they have more rights. |
| Modern Protestant attitudes | Men and women are fully equal and now have women ministers and priests -Jesus treated women as his equal St Paul said men and women are equal in the eyed of God |
| Traditional Muslim attitudes | Men and women are seen as having different roles in religion and daily life. So they should have different rights in. They believe this because -Quran states men must support women because they are stronger -Quran states that women were designed to give birth -Traditionally only men became Imams -Women inherit half what men do as the pressure is on men to provide for the family |
| Modern Muslim attitudes | Men and women are equal in both religion and education. They believe this because: -Quran teaches both are equal -Muhammed allowed women into the mosque to worship -Early Islam had women religious leaders -Women want rights that women have earned in other parts of the world |

| Issues for religion in a multi-faith society | 1. Conversion-teachings of religions can be in conflict with each other. Some see it as a duty to convert others. 2. Bringing up children- in the UK children come into contact with lots of other religions and they may go against their parents. 3.
