Totemism
Totemism describes a form religion that involves members of a community projecting religious values and symbols onto objects with a sacred value.

Hinduism
A panel on Hinduism was featured at a recent conference in Utah. The conference was designed to bring awareness to minority faiths and introduce the public to new ideas on religion in modern society. Sarma, although the conference was focused on religion and the need to understand Hindu belief systems in relation to Western faith traditions, stressed that it was equally important to understand Hindu practice.

Unitarianism
Unitarianism can be considered a global religion. It has a long history of establishing relations with people of other faiths and is considered a secular religion.
