Zoroastrianism
One of the world's oldest living faiths turns daily life into a choice between truth and the lie, with a sacred fire watching.
Buddhism
A major world religion that, unusually among the largest ones, isn't actually centered on worshipping a creator god at all.
Sikhism
Walk into a Sikh gurdwara anywhere in the world and you can eat a free meal, whatever your religion or background.
Christianity
The world's largest religion grew out of the life and death of one person in the Roman-controlled region of Judea.
Taoism
One of Taoism's central ideas sounds almost like a contradiction: that the most effective way to act is often to not force anything at all.
Islam
The country with the largest Muslim population in the world isn't in the Middle East at all — it's Indonesia, in Southeast Asia.
Hinduism
A major world religion with well over a billion followers today, and no single founder, no single holy book, and no single fixed moment of origin.
Judaism
Older than both Christianity and Islam, Judaism is among the oldest continuously practiced monotheistic religions on Earth.
