I put B for 21.

I rationalised that Ashley drew her inspiration from 3 mainstream religions in comparison to a scientific humanist which wouldn't draw inspiration from any religion. Therefore, she would be more in favour for mainstream religions to provide guidance?

Can see why it might be C, though. y/n guys?

I put A for 21 because the last line of info on her said "she is sceptical about science and is disillusioned with the effects of technology on the environment" and A said something about natural resources.

I thought the paper in general was really shit.
The short answers in section I were horrible. Section II I felt repetitive so I wrote different things for each part and this'll drag my marks down and section III was pretty good.
Section IV I knew nothing about Buddhist sacred texts and peace. So I did shit. :/

so that 1 was most definitely wrong

yeah, but she has a wide source base so her guidance is found from within and from reading not from religious authorities.
So it couldn't be B.

Well she was sceptical about "science" and the other dude was a scientific humanist which relies on science to solve issues of medicine etc so i thought C. Whereas B she clearly doesn't have a strong stance with mainstream religions if she is a new ager

Yeah, but surely you would be happy to have at least some aspect of your belief become part of society's form of guidance?
so many of these MC seemed like they had multiple answers. I'm annoyed.

I spoke about how Asoka spread Buddhism through missionaries and that Hinduism didn't have organised missionary stuff. Not sure if that's true. :/

Hm probably is A then, that was a stupid question seeing both C and A were correct as rejections of God. Yet the sign thing said "There's probably no God" which reflects a more agnostic view... WTF BOS
I said b because of guidance to society because new age religion people embrace individualism rather than society as opposed to science. but probs wrong. what did everyone write about for peace?
