Religion

Religion is not the same as God. It is the practice by which a person follows God. 

​

Religion has saved many lives. But religion has also taken many lives. 

 

It's easy to forget that religion is man made and thus leaves room for human error. 

​

Since the beginning of time man kind has been using religion, some considered peaceful, to control societies and justify acts of evil and hatred. 

​

Religion can lead a person to connect spiritually with God or it can push them farther from God. 

​

There are 7 major religions that can be broken down into two categories: Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam); and Dharmic/Indic religions (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism).

​

All religions have some overlapping similarities, likely because new religions are born of old religions.

 

The belief in serving God is the most notable commonality. 

​

How a religious group teaches it's followers to serve God can vary broadly within a single denomination.
