Over the next four weeks, we will be comparing the different religions. Your textbook points out that when we first look at other religions, we often compare them to our own religious preunderstanding. A better way to compare religions is by categories. The textbook provides six categories on p. 10, but The Big Religion Chart from Religion Facts gives much greater detail. You may have to go to multiple sources to fully compare religions.For simplicity let’s use the six categories listed below. Not all religions will fit these categories. For example, a category of “God” might have a variety of terms used for “God” such as deity, gods and goddesses, Spirit, or spirits, but other religions such as Buddhism and Confucianism may also have no gods at all.For this activity, you will compare indigenous religions with Hinduism using the categories listed here. The list here includes examples.
