Colleges and universities have long offered majors in religion or theology.

The average length of the previous 3 Secular Bear Markets was 18 years with
a minimum of 16 years and a maximum of 21 years. Thus if you add 18 years
to the year 2000 and take + or - 3 years on either side then the next
Secular Bull Market may not begin until sometime in the 2015 to 2021 time
period. |

frustration at the slow pace of internal reform.
Syria has been ruled by the Ba'ath party - socialist, secular and nationalist
