Christian Science

Categories: Religion

Countries: USA

Religious sect founded in America by Mary Baker Eddy. Adherents subscribe to a form of philosophical idealism, believing that reality is purely spiritual and the material world an illusion. This includes the view that disease is a mental error rather than physical disorder, and that the sick should be treated not by medicine, but by a form of prayer that seeks to correct the beliefs responsible for the illusion of ill health.
