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 of, views and/or religion:
“The universe is wider than our views of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and, roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. Men have various employments and pursuits which engage their attention, and give a character to the opening mind; but women, confined to one, and having their thoughts constantly directed to the most insignificant part of themselves, seldom extend their views beyond the triumph of the hour.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
