question: Qormusta Tengri is a god in a religion that has become influenced by and mingled with what?
answer: Buddhism
context: Title: Daniel 2
  Passage: Daniel 2 (the second chapter of the Book of Daniel) tells how Daniel interpreted a dream of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.  The king saw a gigantic statue made of four metals, from its gold head to its feet of mingled iron and clay; as he watched, a stone "not cut by human hands" destroyed the statue and became a mountain filling the whole world.  Daniel explained to the king that the statue represented four successive kingdoms beginning with Babylon, while the stone and mountain signified a kingdom established by God which would never be destroyed nor given to another people.  (The dream and its interpretation are given in verses 31-45).  Nebuchadnezzar then acknowledges the supremacy of Daniel's God and raises him to high office in Babylon.
  Title: Postmodern religion
  Passage: Postmodern religion is any type of religion that is influenced by postmodernism and postmodern philosophies.  Examples of religions that may be interpreted using postmodern philosophy include Postmodern Christianity, Postmodern Neopaganism , and Postmodern Buddhism.  Postmodern religion is not an attempt to banish religion from the public sphere; rather, it is a philosophical approach to religion that critically considers orthodox assumptions (that may reflect power differences in society rather than universal truths).  Postmodern religious systems of thought view realities as plural and subjective and dependent on the individual's worldview.  Postmodern interpretations of religion acknowledge and value a multiplicity of diverse interpretations of truth, being and ways of seeing.  There is a rejection of sharp distinctions and global or dominant metanarratives in postmodern religion and this reflects one of the core principles of postmodern philosophy.  A postmodern interpretation of religion emphasises the key point that religious truth is highly individualistic, subjective and resides within the individual.

  Title: Paul Moser
  Passage: Paul K. Moser (born 1957 in Bismarck, North Dakota) is an American analytic philosopher who writes on epistemology and the philosophy of religion.  He is Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago and past editor of the "American Philosophical Quarterly".  He is the author of many works in epistemology and the philosophy of religion, in which he has supported versions of epistemic foundationalism and volitional theism.  His work brings these two positions together to support volitional evidentialism about theistic belief, in contrast to fideism and traditional natural theology.  He draws from some epistemological and theological insights of the apostle Paul, Blaise Pascal, Kierkegaard, John Oman, and H. H. Farmer, but adds (i) a notion of purposively available evidence of God’s existence, (ii) a notion of authoritative evidence in contrast with spectator evidence, and (iii) a notion of personifying evidence of God whereby some willing humans become salient evidence of God's existence.  His most recent work emphasizes the importance of foundational evidence from the self-manifestation of God's moral character to cooperative humans.  An evidential role for "agapē", along the lines of Romans 5:5, is central to his theistic epistemology, as is his view that God is self-authenticating or self-evidencing via self-manifestation and conviction toward unselfish love.  One result is a distinctive approach to divine hiddenness.

  Title: Mongolian shamanism
  Passage: Mongolian shamanism, more broadly called the Mongolian folk religion, or occasionally Tengerism, refers to the animistic and shamanic ethnic religion that has been practiced in Mongolia and its surrounding areas (including Buryatia and Inner Mongolia) at least since the age of recorded history.  The Mongolian endonym is Böö mörgöl (Бөө мөргөл).  In the earliest known stages it was intricately tied to all other aspects of social life and to the tribal organization of Mongolian society.  Along the way, it has become influenced by and mingled with Buddhism.  During the socialist years of the twentieth century it was heavily repressed and has since made a comeback.
