As some people might know chess has a very deep history with other cultures and religions, but what I want to know is what affects did chess have on different religions?

    Your 1st thread is about religion?....surprise.png

shadow5973

yes this is I need to get research on chess's impact on religion for a religion project.

RonaldJosephCote

   You need to use Wikipedia ...or Google.....Game research.....theological reserch......      These forums don't have anything about religions of any denomination. The shere mention of religion will usually get a thread locked.  I wish you luck. I'd like to say that playing chess might have stopped a war yrs ago, but I can't confirm that.

35 minutes old and not locked yet?  I'm shocked considering it has the world "religion" in it.

chess.com will let some stuff go, but they usually clamp down on religion.

I definitely understand religion as it can be a pretty controversial topic.

As long as 2 people can be civil and have a civil discussion, religion is no different that any other topic.  The problem starts with an emotional reaction.

Chess might have helped the understanding  our actions have positive and negative consequences for future generations

The chess.com rules are very clear: "Do not publicly debate religious or political topics".

This post is not debating religion in any way. It is asking for the effect chess had on various religions. People may not like it the fact that religion has played an enormous part in various cultures for as long as there have been humans, but it is what it is
