Views of Serer Religion
The Serer religion being an ethnoreligious faith, interfaith and interracial marriages are forbidden in Serer orthodoxy. Banishment and disinheritance are just two of the sanctions that could be levied against a Serer who disobeys this law. The Serer-Noon (a sub-group of the Serer people) are fervent adherers to this teaching.

Famous quotes containing the words views and/or religion:
“Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Both Socrates and Jesus were outstanding teachers; both of them urged and practiced great simplicity of life; both were regarded as traitors to the religion of their community; neither of them wrote anything; both of them were executed; and both have become the subject of traditions that are difficult or impossible to harmonize.”
—Jaroslav Pelikan (b. 1932)
