Buddhism
Buddhism is an ancient religion that is based on the teachings of Buddha. It emphasizes self-denial and embraces the concepts of karma and reincarnation. While there are a number of different Buddhist schools, there is a common moral core underlying all of them. These are the precepts. These are the values and virtues Buddha expounded in fifth century BC.
Taoism
Taoism's philosophy is based upon the belief that all things are part of a greater whole. This whole is known as the Tao, which is also called the Dao. It is the universal force that flows through all things, binding or freeing them. The concept of Taoism has developed from the observation of the natural world and a belief in cosmic balance. Some Taoists practice spirit and ancestor worship.
Christianity
Although the question of Christianity's position among all the world's religions is complex, Christians must recognize that Christianity is not inferior or unique to any other faith. Interreligious dialogue in today’s world is crucial. The increased encounters among people of different faiths and cultures are an essential component of reaching enlightenment. Christians should not remain at the fringe of interreligious discussion. Although the question is complex, the biblical framework to evaluate world religions offers a solid foundation for Christian engagement.
Hinduism
Hinduism can be described as a traditional religion of India. Its origins can be traced back to 400 BCE. This was when the Indus Valley people were worshiped. One of the most important religious texts in the world is the Vedas, a collection sacred texts written in many different languages.

Sikhism
Guru Nanak, who was born in South Asia's Punjab, is the founder and originator of the Sikh tradition. It is now divided between India (India) and Pakistan (Pakistan).

The vast majority are secular young people, making them a valuable audience for media.
Folk religions
Folk religions refer to practices that originated from regional or local religious traditions. These beliefs are not officially recognized or acknowledged by any country or church. They are unique to a region or indigenous group and rely heavily on sympathetic magic and superstition to evoke supernatural forces. Some of these traditions were founded on the idea that the planets and stars influence us on a deep and personal level.
Judaism
Judaism is the oldest religion on the planet. It dates back to around 2,000 B.C. when the Hebrew people lived throughout the Middle East. Abraham, who was a male, is the focal point of the faith.
