Largest religious group in the world - approx. 2 bil (34%) Basic belief: There is only one God, Jesus was his Son sent to save humanity from eternal sin. The way to heaven is to be absolved of all sin.

A basic summary of Christian belief is in the “Apostle’s Creed” with minor changes according to denomination. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
