It is practiced by approximately 900 million adherents worldwide, and recognizes a single supreme deity that can be experienced through various gods and goddesses.

Hinduism originated from the Aryan people who brought Sanskrit and myths of gods to India between 1500-500 BC. Their hymns and rituals were collected in the Vedas, most importantly the Rig Veda. Later, the Upanishads provided interpretations of the Vedas and introduced concepts like Brahman, the universal spirit, and Atman, the individual soul/self. Hindus believe in reincarnation and strive for moksha, liberation from the cycle of rebirth. The caste system divided society but Hinduism reinforced it through karma and dharma despite not being its religious origin.
Hinduism was established in India in 1500 BCE, featuring texts like the Vedas and a caste system. The Upanishads taught concepts like samsara, karma, and moksha. Siddhartha Gautama was born in 480 BCE and discovered suffering through encountering old age, disease, and death. He attained enlightenment and became the Buddha, spreading his teachings of the Four Noble Truths and Noble Eightfold Path through India and Asia. Buddhism is considered both a philosophy and religion by some definitions and focuses on meditation, wisdom, and compassion rather than faith or gods.
Religion plays an important role in society according to sociological theories. Marx saw religion as an ideology used by the ruling class to justify social inequality and oppress the working class. It creates false consciousness and masks the real issues of exploitation under capitalism. Durkheim viewed religion as an integrative force that provides meaning, social solidarity, and shared values in a society. People often change religions due to outside societal forces such as changes in education, marital status, geography, and generational assimilation rather than purely personal choice.
