Isalm is the second largest religion in the world, with 1.5 billion followers. Muslims are found in Indonesia, Middle East, and north Africa. Muslims much like Christians are monotheistic and believe in one God called the Allah. They devote their life praying to the Allah and observing Islamic law. They read from the holy book Qur’an , which is very much simular to the bible. They do this by following the five pillars. This is something very important to their devoted faith for both denominations, the Sunnis and the Shiites.
With 1.1 billion follower is the religion Hinduism. Hindu's live mostly in India and Nepal. This explains why it's the third largest religion in the world. Following the Vedas on the polyistic faith they believe in reincarnation. This religion has no distinct founder and it's more commonly describvled as a philosophy or way or life.
Buddhism has 500 million to 1.5 billion Buddhist followers. This number varies so much because the religions can have common aspect of other religions such as Christianity. many followers can classify as both religions, but there ever seems to have a check box with two checks. Buddhists believe in that there is suffering in the world but there are ways to reach happiness. Buddha scarified everything to find his purpose of life. In my opinion this is the most interesting.
Juddhism is the smallest of the 5 religions we're studying this may be because of the attempted genocide of Jewish people during the Holocaust. Most are found in the holy land Israel and the United States. The holy book is called the Torah and includes the 10 books from the Old Testament.
