Get To Know Eight Of The World's Religions


Word Religions

I have only listed eight of the world’s religion, but there are more religions. There are other religions that fall under the Christian heading such as Protestant, Mormons, etc… I chose these eight religions because they showed up when I did a google search for world religions.

I am a Christian faith believer and I know very little about other religious faith. I put together this list of religions so I can learn something about other religions, I hope it will help to broaden your knowledge of other religions too.
