Raised as a Christian, I am not a traditional Christian who goes to church every Sunday, but I do sometimes. I believe in God and live with a heart that is truly caring and true to His words in the Bible. The ultimate goal of my belief is to have eternal life in Heaven. Christianity is considered a dominant religion; that’s why I have a privilege in this area. As a Christian, I don't have to fear being judged for my beliefs or how I live my life. People don't try to convince me to change my beliefs or discriminate against me. According to Jun (2010), there are “religious individuals and groups who, due to their religious ethnocentrism and group loyalty, minimize, oppress, and discriminate against people with different backgrounds. One day my history teacher asked the students to raise their hands if they were Christian. The majority of the class raised their hands, while very few did not. An estimated five students raised their hands because they were Muslim and even fewer raised their hands because they were atheists. I remember Christian students reacting negatively toward people with different beliefs. I remained silent because I felt uncomfortable with the privilege, as a Christian, of having the power to discriminate against other people of non-Christian faiths. As a Christian, I believed this behavior was contrary to Christian values. Christians are supposed to show love and acceptance to everyone. Jun (2010) stated that the essential theme of most religions is loving others, being compassionate and forgiving towards others. When I see Christians behaving in such a matter, I do not want to associate myself with the Christian faith. My thought process reflects the fact that I am ashamed of my privilege as a Christian. Sometimes, to avoid my privilege, I would tell people that I am a believer in God and that I don't claim to be religious. I try to avoid the topic of religion because religion brings up judgments and makes me feel more guilty about my privilege in religion. In Fukuyama and Puig's (2016) article, Fukuyama mentioned being aware of her audience members, mental health professionals, and attentive to the topic of spirituality and religion. “Don’t talk about politics or religion in mixed company!” I am aware that the risk of offending members of the public is very real indeed” (p. 2). This is a skill I would like to develop and not avoid the subject of religion. For me to increase my comfort level, I need to feel uncomfortable with the topic. Learning the difference between shame and guilt in religion and spiritual orientation is important to strengthening my multicultural skills. Keller et al. (2015) stated that “guilt involves a negative feeling after a specific action, such as a moral or ethical violation, whereas shame is a more global negative feeling toward oneself” (p. 2). Distinguishing the terms will allow me to better understand my sense of privilege in this area. The article also continues to express that the negative self-evaluation inherent in shame makes it important for individuals in helping professions to understand the basis and influence of feeling shame and to assess whether these feelings can be associated with their spirituality or religion.
