Religions of the world: Information about40 organized religions and faith groups

horizontal ruleSponsored link.document.write('horizontal ruleSorry if your religion was not included in this image.This graphic is all we could find in the public domain.Counterclockwise from the North Pole:Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Taoismhorizontal ruleA menu with links to non-theistic beliefs, ethical groups,philosophies, spiritual paths, etcis located elsewhere on this site.horizontal ruleIntroductory thoughts:bulletWhat is religion? There are manydefinitions for the term "religion" in common usage. On this web site, we define it very broadly, in order to include the greatest number of belief systems: "Religion is any specific system of belief about deity, often involving rituals, a code of ethics, and a philosophy of life." Thus we include here all of the great monotheistic religions, Eastern religions; Neopagan religions; a wide range of other faith groups, spiritual paths, and ethical systems; and beliefs about the existence of God(s) and Goddess(es). We recognize that most people define "religion" in a much more exclusive manner.bulletChristianity:bulletThere are many definitions for this term as well. Again, we use an inclusive definition: "An individual or group is Christian if they sincerely, thoughtfully and devoutly believe that they are Christian." This generates a lot of angry Emails from some visitors to this site who are insistent on excluding the Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholic Church, the Mormons and some other denominations as sub-Christian, quasi-Christian non-Christian, or anti-Christian.  bulletWe treat Christianity in greater detail than other religions, simply because about 75% of North Americans identify themselves with that religion. Christians outnumber the next largest organized religions,Judaism andIslam,  by about 40 to 1 in the U.S. and Canada. We are not in any way implying that Christianity is superior or inferior to other religions. It is simply much more popular.bulletDestructive, doomsday cults: These are fortunately few in number, and are listedelsewhere.Information for theseessays was extracted from reliable sources, and believed to be accurate and reasonablyunbiased. Where possible, they have been reviewed by a group (typically 3 or more) of persons who follow the belief before the material is placed online. 

"World" Religions:

There are many, long established, major world religions, each with over three million followers. We have shown the five largestNorth American religions in bold: bulletBaha'i SymbolBaha'i Faith bulletBuddhism Symbol Buddhism bullet<b>Christian</b> SymbolChristianity;  Christian groups, denominations and families (Amish to The Way) bulletConfucius Symbol Confucianism bulletHinduism Symbol Hinduism bulletIslam Symbol Islam bulletJainism SymbolJainismbulletJudaism Symbol JudaismbulletShinto Symbol ShintobulletSikhism Symbol Sikhismbullet Taoism bullet Vodun (Voodoo)

Neopagan symbol1 Neopagan Religious Faiths

Neopagan faiths are modern-day reconstructions of ancient Pagan religionsfrom various countries and eras. They experience a high but diminishing level of discrimination and persecutionin North America. They were once rarely practiced in public for reasons of safety. This is rapidly changing forthe better.bulletAsatru (Norse Paganism) *bulletDruidism bulletGoddess Worship bulletWiccan SymbolWicca bulletWitchcraft Notes:bulletMany followers of Asatru regard themselves as "Heathens" rather than "Neopagans."bulletMany followers of these religions refer to themselves as "Pagans." We use the term "Neopagan" because it is less ambiguous. "Pagan" has a variety of unrelated meanings.

Other organized Religions

These are smaller religions, with a well defined belief in deity, humanity and the restof the universe. Of the many hundreds of faith groups in the world, we have chosen thesebecause of their historical significance, or because of the massive amount ofmisinformation that has been spread about them in North America: bulletCaodaismbulletDamanhur CommunitybulletDruze bulletEckankar bulletElian Gonzalez religious movementbulletGnosticism bulletGypsies bullet Hare Krishna Symbol\Hare Krishna - ISKCONbulletIfa, the religion of the Yoruba people of West AfricabulletLukumi bulletMacumba bulletMowahhidoon bulletNative American Spirituality bulletRom, Roma, Romani, Rroma, (a.k.a.
