Five Major Religions

        In class we learned about the Five Major Religions in the world. The only thing is that we ran out of time today to learn about all five. One of the religions though is Christianity. Christianity is the world’s largest religions in the world it has 2.2 billion people in its religion. The people are called Christians and their belief is that Jesus is the Son of God, He is born without sin, and is crucified then is rose from the dead later. The founder is Jesus Christ and the Holy book is The Bible. The next Religion is Islam which is the second biggest religion with 1.5 billion people. Those people are called Muslims and they believe in Muhammad, Abrahamic, and Five Pillars. Their founder is Muhammad who lived 570-632 and their holy book is the Qur’an. The final Religion we learned today is Hinduism which is the third largest with 1.1 billion people. They are called Hindus and they believe in “as a person puts on new clothes and discards old and torn up clothes, similarly an embodied soul enters new material bodies leaving the old bodies.” In other words reincarnation. Their founder is no distinct founder because is probably the oldest religion and their holy book is called the Vedas eternal truths revealed to ancient sages composed in verse formed. I can’t wait to learn more about religions next class.
