Major Monotheistic Religions

The first page explores the three major monotheistic faiths - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Christianity, based on Jesus Christ's teachings, emerged from Judaism and follows the Bible's New Testament. Judaism, centered in Israel, uses the Tanakh as its holy text and is led by rabbis in synagogues. Islam, the world's second-largest religion, originated in the Middle East and follows the Quran's teachings.

Definition: Monotheistic refers to the belief in one supreme deity or God.

Highlight: The Five Pillars of Islam form the foundation of Muslim life and practice.

Example: Major religious holidays include Easter and Christmas (Christianity), Yom Kippur and Hanukkah (Judaism), and Ramadan (Islam).

Vocabulary: Rabbi - A religious leader and teacher in the Jewish faith.

Quote: "Christianity originally developed as a part of Judaism."

Eastern and Nature-Based Religions

The second page details Eastern religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, along with the nature-based belief system of Animism. Hinduism, predominantly practiced in India, features multiple deities and focuses on karma and reincarnation. Buddhism, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, emphasizes the Four Noble Truths and the path to Nirvana. Sikhism, established by Guru Nanak, promotes equality and devotion.

Definition: Nirvana represents a state of perfect enlightenment and freedom from suffering.

Highlight: Hinduism has no single founder or sacred text, making it uniquely diverse among world religions.

Example: The cycle of birth-death-rebirth (reincarnation) is central to Hindu beliefs.

Vocabulary: Karma - The spiritual principle of cause and effect where actions influence future experiences.

Quote: "For many Hindus religion is a matter of practice rather than of beliefs."
