Often times in our society we take one another for granted and treat each other with cruelty. Some of the times our best communication with one another is constant war, fights, and brutality to one another.

Another way you or others can see this being affective is putting trust in the god and god’s.

Religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe. In today’s society there are many religious lifestyles people stand by. Popular ones consist of Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. When looking at Christianity and Buddhism it is easy to identify some major differences. For instance, both the religions were started and founded by different people and in dissimilar ways. A second one would be what they believe in; number of deities, and what they base their knowledge around. A final difference between the two would be how they practice their religion and worship their “God.”

Religion is a very intellectual topic in the world. There are so many different types of religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Jainism, and many more. So many people in this world believe in numerous different religions. Some believe in one god, and others believe in hundreds. Hinduism and Buddhism are popular religions that are practiced around the world.

Those who are raised within one religious tradition may find it difficult to understand the traditions of another religion. It is not until one is educated in the basics of the other major world religions, that it is possible to see the many similarities between them. Just as there are many similarities between the countries culturally, the major religions share more things than they are different.

Religion plays a huge role in today’s day and age. In fact, religion has been of huge importance since cavemen were, well, cavemen. Religion is the factor that keeps many people going in life but at the same time, the same reason our world has so many problems and has been torn apart.

Christianity and Islam take the cake for the two biggest religions in today’s population however, Judaism plays the smallest role. These three religions, although different, are easily able to be compared and contrasted because of all of the history and information we have attained towards these separate beliefs. I think it is crucial that these religions be studied by people all around the world so that we can be understanding towards other religions, not just our own. Through religious beliefs, things we can learn through teachings and comparing and contrasting we can learn more about Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

Hinduism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity developed centuries ago and have been practiced since then to today. Groups of people who practice these religions are bound to the conventional norms, beliefs, cultures and way of life of each. Each religion has a particular faith in a supreme being (Woodhead, Partridge & Kawanami, 2016). Muslims believe in Allah, Christians believe in Jesus Christ, Hindus believe in multiple Gods (Coomaraswamy, 2011) and Buddhism follower’s belief in various Gods and their enlightened priests especially the "most high priests" Buddha Almond, P. C. (2007). All these religions regard their places of which as sacred places which

Monotheistic religions can range from all types of extremities from around the world. Monotheistic religion refers to the belief in a single, universal God. Common examples are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (answers.com). There are different types ranging from different regions yet; some could be so similar at the same time in their teachings. Islamic and Christianity religions are two of the biggest religions in the world and are so different and in some aspects the same. The two religions also share some rivalries that have been displayed in the media because of the view that Islam has on the Christianity culture. I will be further exploring the beginnings of both religions and the teachings that it has passed down to generations. First of all, I will be discussing Christianity and its humble beginnings. I will explore the views of anthropologist and the teachings of this religion. Second, I will be exploring the Islamic religion and its humble beginnings. I will be discussing anthropologist points of view of the Islamic religion and its teachings. Finally, I will be closing with the differences that these two religions have and how it has affected people around the world with the disagreements that both sides have in their style of teachings and its implemented actions that one has to follow.

Five of the most popular religions today include Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism. Christianity is a monotheistic religion that uses the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam do have an inherent thread of violence woven into the fabric of their ideation and scriptures. They do have an inherent thread because of we have seen so much violence that has been caused because of religion. Many times people are offended by others’ belief, which can cause violence due to the different perspectives. Furthermore, these religions get very protective of their beliefs, if you believe something, there must be reasons for your beliefs. Therefore, no violence should rise when someone disagrees, they should stay true to their beliefs and not cause violence to rise when someone disagrees with their views. Monotheistic people often don’t act up on the violence thread in their religion although it is often called by monotheism cultivated intolerance. Since monotheist believe that there is only one way to worship and acknowledge God, they are very closed minded. Although there are no rights in the monotheistic system, dissents, heresy, error, the odd view, blasphemy, should be considered malevolent and intolerable. Someone shouldn’t take it to heart when someone says something negative about your religion. The state and religion should be separated, just the same way that religion and the government should be separated. Although the government seems to have a test that is unconsciously made by its people. Monotheists who have performed violent acts in the name of God not tapped into a genuine and authentic strain of violence within

These religions all share one aspect of not being understood. They are either viewed as devil activities or seen as curses like the Haitians. The atheist community was seen negatively, as if they turned to the devil just as the Maria Lionza or spiritualist who feels they are not understood by other cultures even though it has found its way into popular religions like Catholicism. In some way these five religions have been viewed as differently and hurt in a way either by criticism or the earthquake that hit Haiti. Because of this they are automatically related to the devil’s work in some fashion yet they all relate to positive aspects, for example, healing and cleansing.

God to the people of the big three monotheist religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) see god as an all-knowing, all-seeing, and all-powerful being.

On this vast planet religions are becoming more prevalent and are being studied more frequently in recent times. Many individuals want to study and learn about the origins of some religions, on where they were developed and what was the cause of this glorification of a divine. The art of religion is processed by many ideologies, background, beliefs, myths, and rituals. The five major religions of the world include: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism are solely based on these ideologies, and ultimately leads to one goal, to follow the path of god, or to seek a euphoric state of salvation. In spite of all the differences among the world’s five major religions, they have very similar ethical constructs, which should encourage more mutual respect among them.

Based on the text of the different quotes, they all talking about one God. I would say that all religions are the same thing, but the salvation may not be in every region. The reason we pray to God or obey his law is to gain salvation. All the region were not teaching the same things or doctrine. For example, Christianity claims that, we are born sinful through the Adam and Eve. Christ, the son of God have died for the sake of our sin, that whosoever believed in him will be saved. Then, Islam claims that we are born without sin, if we obey Allah, we will go to heaven. On the other hand, Hinduism claims that going to heaven without reborn is in vain. They believed in an endless cycle of reincarnation. Buddhism believed in the eighth noble path, the process by which to eliminate Dukkha or suffering, and to attain enlightenment. The life after death were still unsolved mystery in Buddhism. The path to salvation does not mean through prayers, but rather through meditation. God in Judaism related to humanity as, a person whom God has chosen as a life or a law giver.
