Understanding Religion and Its Global Diversity
Religion is the belief in a deity or a divine entity. It is about the presence of God, who rules the entire world. It is based on belief. There isn’t any proof of it if we just have to believe it. Different people have different beliefs; this is the reason for different religions. There may be different kinds of rituals performed in different religions. All religions have different cultures, customs, and beliefs. India is a secular country, so here, people can follow any religion they want. Religion has an emotional connection in our country. Sometimes, it connects people and maintains peace and harmony. Religion has two categories: Monotheistic Religion and Polytheistic Religion. Monotheistic Religion is in which people believe in only one god. This religion is like Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. In Islam, people only believe in Allah; in Judaism, people believe in Abraham; and in Christianity, people believe in Jesus Christ. In a Polytheistic religion, people believe in various gods. This religion is like Hinduism and Buddhism. In every religion, there is a holy book that tells us about the religion. In Hinduism, the holy book is “Geeta”; in Islam, the holy book is “Quaran”; and in Christianity, the holy book is “Baibel”.But religion also has some superstitions that can be very fatal. But the region gives us the message of peace and harmony. It teaches us the actual meaning of humanity. It also gives us hope and positivity in the tough times of our life
