Confucianism is often characterized as a system of
social and ethical philosophy rather than a religion.
In fact, Confucianism built on an ancient religious
foundation to establish the social values,
institutions, and transcendent ideals of traditional
Chinese society. the sense of religious identity and
common moral understanding at the foundation of a
society's central institutions.
Confucianism was part of the Chinese social fabric
and way of life; to Confucians, everyday life was
the arena of religion.

Taoism (modernly Daoism) is a
philosophical, ethical, and religious
tradition of Chinese origin that
emphasizes living in harmony with the
Tao

"principle", and can also be found in
Chinese philosophies and religions
other than Taoism. In Taoism,

 The

history of Taoism stretches
throughout Chinese history.
 Originating in prehistoric China, it has
exerted a powerful influence over
Chinese culture throughout the ages.

associated practices being revised and
refined.

 Shinto,

roughly meaning "the way
of the gods," is the traditional
religion of Japan.
 It centers upon the relationship
between practitioners and a
multitude of supernatural entities
called kami who are associated
with all aspects of life.

first used in the 6th century C.E., although
the roots of the religion go back to at least
the 6th century B.C.E.

texts, and no formalized system of doctrine.

Islam isn't just a title or name of a religion,
it's also a word in Arabic which is rich in
meaning and has many connections to other
fundamental Islamic concepts.
 Understanding the concept of "Islam," or
"submission," is critical to understanding the
religion which derives its name from it — not
only can it make critiques of Islam better
informed, but there are in fact good reasons
to critique and question Islam on the basis of
the concept of submission to an authoritarian
god.


The history of Islam concerns the religion
of Islam and its adherents, Muslims.
"Muslim" is an Arabic word meaning "one
who submits to God".
 Muslims and their religion have greatly
impacted the political, economic, and
military history of the Old World,
especially the Middle East, where its
roots lie.
 Though it is believed by non-Muslims to
have originated in Mecca and Medina,
Muslims believe that the religion of Islam
has been present since the time of the
prophet

there is a religion called
Judaism, a set of ideas about the
world and the way we should
live our lives that is called
"Judaism."

Judaism is a religious tradition with origins
dating back nearly four thousand years, rooted
in the ancient near eastern region of Canaan
(which is now Israel and Palestinian territories).
 Originating as the beliefs and practices of the
people known as "Israel," classical, or rabbinic,
Judaism did not emerge until the 1st century
C.E.

made with Abraham and his lineage — that God
would make them a sacred people and give
them a holy land.

tradition

Christianity are Roman Catholicism,

beings. They believe that Jesus is
the son of God and he died so as
to save human beings from sin.
They believe in Eternal life after
death and resurrection.
