World Religions

There are thousands of religions in the world. Religions are often divided into three categories: those with belief in one god, those with a belief in more than one god, and those with a belief in divine forces of nature. Many religions have common elements. The five major world religions are Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism.
