Wikipedia's contents: Religion and belief systems
 Religion is the adherence to codified beliefs and rituals that generally involve a faith in a spiritual
nature and a study of inherited ancestral traditions, knowledge and wisdom related to understanding
human life. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to faith as well as to the larger
shared systems of belief.
A belief system can refer to a religion or a world view. A world view (or worldview) is a
term calqued from the German word Weltanschauung ( [ˈvɛlt.ʔanˌʃaʊ.ʊŋ] (help·info)) Welt is the German
word for 'world,' and Anschauung is the German word for 'view' or 'outlook'. It is a concept fundamental
to German philosophy and epistemology and refers to a wide world perception. Additionally, it refers to
the framework of ideas and beliefs through which an individual interprets the world and interacts in it.

Religion – collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that establishes symbols that
relate humanity to spirituality and sometimes to moral values.

 World's religions:
o Abrahamic religions:
 Judaism – "religion, philosophy, and way of life" of the Jewish people. Originating in the
Hebrew Bible (also known as the Tanach) and explored in later texts such as the Talmud, it
is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenantal relationship God
developed with the Children of Israel.
 Jewish law – the collective body of Jewish religious laws derived from the Written and
Oral Torah.
 Christianity – monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus as presented in
canonical gospels and other New Testament writings.
  Bible – the holy text of Christianity
 Catholicism – Catholicism is the largest denomination of Christianity. It holds that its
Bishops are the successors of the Apostles of Jesus and its Pope the successor of St
Peter, and Mary the mother of Jesus is venerated. The term Catholicism broadly denotes
the varying body of traditions, nations, demographics and behaviours generally
subscribed to the Faith.
 Catholic canon law
 Catholic ecumenical councils
 Heresies in the Catholic Church
 Protestantism – Protestantism is a broad term, usually used for Christians who are not of
the Catholic, Anglican, or Eastern Churches. However, some consider Anglicanism to
be Protestant, and some consider Radical Reformism not to be Protestant.
 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – The largest denomination of the Latter
Day Saint movement, an American restorationist movement. Members are known as
"Mormons".
 Book of Mormon – the earliest distinctive scripture of the Latter Day Saint
movement.
 Joseph Smith – the founding Prophet of the Latter Day Saint movement.
 Islam – monotheistic religion articulated by the Qur’an, a text considered by its adherents to
be the verbatim word of one God, Allah (Arabic: ‫ هللا‬Allāh), and by the teachings and
normative example (called the Sunnah and composed of Hadith) of Muhammad, considered
by them to be the last prophet of Allah.
 Bahá'í Faith – a monotheistic religion founded by Baha'u'llah in the 19th century, proclaims
Spiritual unity of mankind
o East Asian religions:
 Taoism – a religious and philosophical tradition of Chinese origin with an emphasis on
living in harmony with, and in accordance to the natural flow or cosmic structural order of
the universe commonly referred to as the Tao.
o Indian religions:
 Buddhism – religion and philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and
practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as
the Buddha (Pāli/Sanskrit "the awakened one").
 Hinduism – predominant and indigenous religious tradition), amongst many other
expressions.
 Ayyavazhi – Henotheistic belief that originated in South India. It is cited as an
independent monistic religion by several newspapers, government reports and academic
researchers. In Indian censuses, however, the majority of its followers declare
themselves as Hindus. Therefore, Ayyavazhi is also considered a Hindu denomination.
 Sikhism – monotheistic religion founded during the 15th century in the Punjab region, on the
teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and ten successive Sikh Gurus (the last teaching being the
holy scripture Guru Granth Sahib Ji).
o Contemporary Paganism – a contemporary set of beliefs modelled on the ancient pagan religions
(usually of Europe or the Near East).
 Religious debates:
o Creation–evolution controversy – recurring theological and cultural-political dispute about the
origins of the Earth, humanity, life, and the universe, between the proponents of evolution,
backed by scientific consensus, and those who espouse the validity and/or superiority of literal
interpretations of a creation myth. The dispute particularly involves the field of evolutionary
