Sorry if your religion was not included in this image.
This graphic is all we could find in the public domain.
Counterclockwise from the North Pole:
Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Taoism

Introductory thoughts:

What is religion? There are many definitions for the term "religion" in common usage. On this web site, we define it very broadly, in order to include the greatest number of belief systems: "Religion is any specific system of belief about deity, often involving rituals, a code of ethics, and a philosophy of life." Thus we include here all of the great monotheistic religions, Eastern religions; Neopagan religions; a wide range of other faith groups, spiritual paths, and ethical systems; and beliefs about the existence of God(s) and Goddess(es). We recognize that most people define "religion" in a much more exclusive manner.

Christianity:

There are many definitions for this term as well. Again, we use an inclusive definition: "An individual or group is Christian if they sincerely, thoughtfully and devoutly believe that they are Christian." This generates a lot of angry Emails from some visitors to this site who are insistent on excluding the Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholic Church, the Mormons and some other denominations as sub-Christian, quasi-Christian non-Christian, or anti-Christian.

We treat Christianity in greater detail than other religions, simply because about 75% of North Americans identify themselves with that religion. Christians outnumber the next largest organized religions, Judaism and Islam, by about 40 to 1 in the U.S. and Canada. We are not in any way implying that Christianity is superior or inferior to other religions. It is simply much more popular.

Destructive, doomsday cults: These are fortunately few in number, and are listed elsewhere.

Information for these essays was extracted from reliable sources, and believed to be accurate and reasonably unbiased. Where possible, they have been reviewed by a group (typically 3 or more) of persons who follow the belief before the material is placed online.

"World" Religions:

There are many, long established, major world religions, each with over three million followers. We have shown the five largest North American religions in bold:

	Baha'i Faith
	Buddhism
	Christianity; Christian groups, denominations and families (Amish to The Way)
	Confucianism
	Hinduism
	Islam
	Jainism
	Judaism
	Shinto
	Sikhism
	Taoism
	Vodun (Voodoo)

₁ Neopagan Religious Faiths

Neopagan faiths are modern-day reconstructions of ancient Pagan religions from various countries and eras. They experience a high but diminishing level of discrimination and persecution in North America. They were once rarely practiced in public for reasons of safety. This is rapidly changing for the better.

Asatru (Norse Paganism) *

Druidism

Goddess Worship

Wicca

Witchcraft

Notes:

Many followers of Asatru regard themselves as "Heathens" rather than "Neopagans. "

Many followers of these religions refer to themselves as "Pagans." We use the term "Neopagan" because it is less ambiguous. "Pagan" has a variety of unrelated meanings.

Other organized Religions

These are smaller religions, with a well defined belief in deity, humanity and the rest of the universe. Of the many hundreds of faith groups in the world, we have chosen these because of their historical significance, or because of the massive amount of misinformation that has been spread about them in North America:

Elian Gonzalez religious movement

Gnosticism

Gypsies

\ Hare Krishna - ISKCON

Ifa, the religion of the Yoruba people of West Africa

Lukumi

Macumba

Mowahhidoon

Native American Spirituality

Rom, Roma, Romani, Rroma, (a.k.a. Gypsies)

Santeria

Elian Gonzalez religious movement

Satanism; The Church of Satan

Scientology

Unitarian-Universalism

The Creativity Movement (formerly called World Church of the Creator)

The Yazidi branch of Yazdanism
