1. My readers will care about this issue because it is such a big part of how things are run in this country. For example, wanting to take "under God" out of the pledge of allegiance or being allowed to pray in school. Religion is something many people stereotype because they don't understand it and don't understand the similarities between all religions and each one's purpose.
2. My readers will want to know statistics, proven facts through research, interview answers, and testimonies. I can give the reader a list of statistics but I can not change their beliefs without proven research to support them. I think the one thing most readers will be interested in is the impact religion has on undergraduates.
3. My readers already know the general information of Christian beliefs; you go to church on Sunday, Jesus died on the cross for our sins, prayer, being a good person etc. They also know some of the more common stereotypes such as Christians being hypocrites or goody-goodys.
4. I want my readers to finish searching through my research and come out with a better understanding of religion. I want their stereotypes to change.I want my readers to look at religion as what someone uses as a positive distraction in life to full fill their needs in the sense of knowing there's a high power of some kind, having someone/something to rely on in times of need, something to keep them from making bad lifestyle choices. It is more than just a belief in something, it's a lifestyle change.
5. I feel like the stereotypes will be the hardest to persuade my reader to change. After my 8 weeks of research my feelings have changed very little. I have had experiences that have shaped my stereotypical beliefs and that makes it harder for me to think different.
6. My readers will use my writing to learn and understand as well as use it for a reference to another research.
