Question: Samuel Hirsch was a major religious philosopher for a religion whose greatest center today is where?
Context: Reform Judaism (also known as Liberal Judaism or Progressive Judaism) is a major Jewish denomination that emphasizes the evolving nature of the faith, the superiority of its ethical aspects to the ceremonial ones, and a belief in a continuous revelation not centered on the theophany at Mount Sinai.  A liberal strand of Judaism, it is characterized by a lesser stress on ritual and personal observance, regarding Jewish Law as non-binding and the individual Jew as autonomous, and openness to external influences and progressive values.  The origins of Reform Judaism lay in 19th-century Germany, where its early principles were formulated by Rabbi Abraham Geiger and his associates; since the 1970s, the movement adopted a policy of inclusiveness and acceptance, inviting as many as possible to partake in its communities, rather than strict theoretical clarity.  Its greatest center today is in North America. Religion in Sweden is diversified.  Christianity was the religion of virtually all the Swedish population from the 12th to the early 20th century, but it rapidly declined throughout the late 20th and early 21st century.  According to a 2016 survey held by Ipsos among working-age, internet connected Swedes, Christianity is still the major religious group in Sweden, with 32% of the population declaring to be Christians, of whom 24% Protestants, 4% members of the Catholic Church, 3% Orthodox Christians and 1% Jehovah's Witnesses.  At the same time, 45% of the population of Sweden has no preference for any religion or spirituality, with 33% declaring to be atheists and 13% agnostics.  Despite this, as of the same year the Lutheran Church of Sweden — which was the state religion until 2000 — still has a registered membership of 6.1 million Swedish citizens, equal to 61.2% of the total population.  Such a high membership is due to the fact that until 1996 all newborns with at least one parent being member of the Church of Sweden were also registered as members of the church.  Yet the membership is declining rapidly, about 1% each year, falling from 95% in 1970 and 85% in 2000. Christian Theological libraries have their origins in the Jewish religion whose practice and transmission depended on the keeping and duplication of sacred texts.  Like Judaism, Christianity depends fundamentally on the preservation and study of a sacred text.  From this it follows that the texts and the secondary literature will be collected for the use of the literate members of the religious communities and passed on to succeeding generations. First published as the Federal Council Year Book in 1916, The Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches is a comprehensive descriptive and statistical listing of major religious bodies and other important religion-related organizations in the U.S. and Canada.  The Yearbook contains descriptive information about the major religious bodies in the U.S.A. and Canada, including features of their ecclesiology, history and theological principles, membership and financial statistics, official periodicals published by each religious group, as well as listings of each group's current officers. Markus Mühling (born 27 December 1969, Frankfurt am Main) is a Protestant systematic theologian and philosopher of religion whose work focuses largely on the doctrine of God, eschatology, the atonement and the dialogue between the natural sciences and theology. About 104 million citizens of the Republic of India are members of Scheduled Tribes, which accounts for 8.6 percent of India' s population (according to the 2011 census).  Many Indians belonging to these populations adhere to traditional Indian tribal religions, often syncretized with one or more of the major religious traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and/or Christianity and often under ongoing pressure of cultural assimilation.  In keeping with the nature of Indian religion generally, these particular religions often involve traditions of ancestor worship or worship of spirits of natural features.  Tribal beliefs persist as folk religion even among those converted to a major religion. The Rabbinical Conference of Brunswick was a conference held in 1844 in Brunswick, convoked by Levi Herzfeld and Ludwig Philippson.  Other attendees included Solomon Formstecher, Samuel Hirsch, Mendel Hess, Samuel Holdheim.  Although he did not attend due to impending death, following the conference Áron Chorin, on his death-bed, wrote a declaration of his support of its conclusions.  The following summer a synod at Frankfort-on-the-Main heard reports commissioned by the Brunswick session that dealt with various liturgical, practical, and theological topics.  At this 1845 synod rabbis attending it declared that women count in a minyan, a formalization of a customary Reform practice dating back to 1811. The Constitution provides for freedom of religion and the freedom to practice all religious rites provided that the public order is not disturbed.  The Constitution declares equality of rights and duties for all citizens without discrimination or preference but establishes a balance of power among the major religious groups.  The Government generally respected these rights; however, there were some restrictions, and the constitutional provision for apportioning political offices according to religious affiliation may be viewed as inherently discriminatory.  There were no reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious belief or practice.  There were, however, periodic reports of tension between religious groups, attributable to competition for political power, and citizens continued to struggle with the legacy of a 15-year civil war that was fought largely along sectarian lines.  Despite sectarian tensions caused by the competition for political power, churches, mosques, and other places of worship continued to exist side-by-side, extending a centuries-long national heritage as a place of refuge for those fleeing religious intolerance. Samuel Hirsch, (June 8, 1815 – May 14, 1889) was a major Reform religious philosopher and rabbi. Samuel Hirsch Margulies (1858 – March 12, 1922) Orthodox rabbi and scholar.  He was born in Berezhany, western Ukraine (then mainly Polish speaking town with mixed Polish, Ukrainian and Jewish population in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Austro-Hungarian Empire), and studied at the Breslau Jewish Theological Seminary and at the universities of Breslau and Leipzig, in Germany.  He was rabbi in Hamburg (1885–1887), district rabbi of Hesse-Nassau, Germany, (1887–1890) and in 1890 was appointed chief rabbi of Florence, Italy.  In 1899 he became principal of Italy’s only rabbinical seminary, the Collegio Rabbinico Italiano when it transferred from Rome to Florence.  Margulies was a powerful spiritual force in Italy and trained many of its religious leaders.  He founded and edited Rivista Israelitica, the learned journal published by the Seminary.  His scholarly publications included an edition of Rabbi Saadiah’s Arabic translation of the Psalms.
