“If I were asked to define the Hindu creed, I should simply say: Search after truth through non-violent means. A man may not believe in God and still call himself a Hindu. Hinduism is a relentless pursuit after truth... Hinduism is the religion of truth. Truth is God.”

All in all, Hinduism and Buddhism are similar because they both have moral responsibilities in the form of Dharma and the Eightfold Path. However, Hinduism and Buddhism are different because both religious have different goals. Followers of Hinduism want to eventually go to Brahman, while followers of Buddhism want to achieve Nirvana. While these two religions are very different from each other, they both of one other similarity with each other and with other religions in the earth, which is that they all want to be released from the pain of the world and enter into a world of of greater

The world is made up of different religions that consist of different beliefs and different ways of worshipping those beliefs. It is one’s opinion to place judgment on whether a certain type of religion is “right” or “wrong”. Essentially, religious beliefs boil down to the connection one feels within oneself. Whether that connection can be explained by nature or spiritual beings, is determined by the beliefs a person lives by. The most common religions include Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Here, we will discuss the differences and similarities between Hinduism and Christianity. These two religions are the most alike out of the five previously mentioned religions.

Both Buddhism and Hinduism are well known religions, and they are the two most popular polytheistic faiths in the world. Buddhism and Hinduism have some similarities when it comes to worshiping, however, they both have different things to apart each other. For example, both religions have different way of salvation and enlightenment to attain Moksha and Nirvana. Moksha and Nirvana are two concepts in Hindu and Buddhist philosophies which have some similarities and differences when it comes for liberation or salvation.

What do Christianity and Hinduism have in common? Christianity is a monotheistic religion, however, Hinduism is a polytheistic religion. But, they both believe in a paradise or heaven. Christianity and Hinduism are both alike and different in various ways.

The origins of the two religions are quite different. Hinduism is one of the oldest, if not the oldest religions in the world. The Hindu religion has no known founder, and no exact date of when it came into

Every religion in the world holds beauty and mysteries. It gives the worshiper the confidence they need to make it through the toughest of days. My catholic faith has guided me, healed me and opened my heart to the world. However, my faith differs from those of my friends and I believe world religions are very crucial to free us from ignorance.

If the history of these religions were applied, Volf would see that these religions became “global” because they were able to create identity and communities for people who were shifted geologically.

Religion can be defined as a commitment or dedication to a particular set of beliefs. Hinduism and Christianity make up only two of the thousands of religions found around the world. Hinduism is the dominant religion in India, leading roughly 800 million followers. These followers are called Hindus from the Arabic term al hind referring to the people living across the river Indus. Countless people presume that Hinduism is a polytheistic religion. Surprisingly, most Hindus claim they have faith in only one god, Brahman. He is seen in many forms and is believed to have been the cause and foundation for all existence. However, Jesus is seen as the leader in Christianity. He is important to Christians, followers of Christianity, because of his sacrifice. The term Christian is derived from the Greek word “Christitanos” meaning follower of Christ. There are about 1.9 billion followers fairly distributed throughout the world. Because of this, Christianity is viewed as one of the largest and most widespread religions today (Stewart).

When looking at Christianity and Hinduism there are many ways to look at each religion from a theological perspective. This is why the best way to look at the broad view of these religions would be to analyze each by comparing and contrasting what each religion is about. The first point to look at would be at how Hinduism and Christianity are very similar in how they view the world. This can be seen in how they both strive to achieve a state of higher being whether it be with the eternal state of Moksha or eternal life in heaven with God. They both also look to be more introspective of themselves in order to maintain a good relationship with their higher being. This can be seen with Christians trying their hardest to maintain their faithfulness to God (Letter to the Romans, Reader p. 200) or Hindus making sure to maintain their duties in their caste in order to climb the system (Bhagavad Gita, Reader p. 75). Another comparison would be that Christianity follows the “Golden Rule” which is better known in the Hindu religion as karma. This is an important cornerstone to both religions because it creates a system of justice for both religions to follow. To truly examine these two religions one must also look at the differences that each religion has to each other that make them each a unique belief. A main difference would be that Christianity focuses more on the short term while Hinduism focuses more on the long term. Another difference is the rewards that a Christian
