I am Presbyterian, a different for of Christianity. I attend a Catholic school( and have been for most of my life) and I can tell you that I agree with the Presbyterians better.
we only have communion once a month, so it doesn't get to routine.
we believe in praying directly to God, and not to the saints.
We believe that faith alone can get you into heaven, and not good works.
Those are only a few for starters.

No particular religion, just beliefs.
1) Not everyone is equal (some are more talented than others or more deserving) but everyone is born with natural rights that cannot be taken away; such as life, liberty and freedom to own property.
2) People can not be defined by their race, gender or religion.
3) There is a higher being.
4) Whether or not you agree with someone, you must always be tolerant and understanding to their beliefs.
5) Death and murder is never justified. Not by war, not by rebellion, or any other previously held excuse.
6) Be grateful for everything you have.

I'm a Moslem, and my religion is Islam.
1. As Moslems, we believe that there is no other God beside Allah.
2. We believe that Muhammad is a messenger (the last prophet) sent by Allah.
3. We also believe that Jesus is mere human and is a messenger of Allah that can perform miracles by God's will.
4. We believe that human can't inherit sins.
5. Allah does not look at a person's wealth, health, age, or status. Rather, the ones who are closest to Him are the ones who are more righteous than the others in their sincere worship and deeds.
There are more that I can list down here, but since you only required 5... :-)

I'm a Buddhist - I'm not sure I can sum up our beliefs in 3-5 things.. but I'll try:
From BuddhaNet:
To many, Buddhism goes beyond religion and is more of a philosophy or 'way of life'. It is a philosophy because philosophy 'means love of wisdom' and the Buddhist path can be summed up as:
(1) to lead a moral life,
(2) to be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions, and
(3) to develop wisdom and understanding.
The basic concepts in Buddhism can be summed up by the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path.
I've placed a link below to BuddhaNet's Basic Buddhism guide, which includes a 5 minute introduction to Buddhism. I hope you find this helpful!

I am a Jehovahs Witness, I believe that Jesus and God are 2 different beings and I dont believe in evolution, I think that Jehovah God created all things. I also know something that not many others know, in the bible it says that Jesus was impaled 'on a tree'. In those days that would have meant he was nailed to a torture STAKE not on a cross. I also think that it is wrong to wear crosses on a chain as jewellery. For example, if someone you knew was shot, would you then wear a gun on your neck?

I'm a born again Christian attending a nondenominational River of Life church. I am a new person in Christ, old things are passed away. I'm growing in my faith. The more I seek Him, the more I find Him. The more I find Him, the more I love Him. I'm the Beautiful Bride of Christ. I believe a lot more than that too.
My faith is that God Is, and is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him. Jesus said that those that love Him obey Him.

Born and raised Catholic, then a Methodist, then a Jew. I really prefer the Jewish religion and like it for a number of reasons. I look upon religion as a social function, not some ultimate "in" with G.d. Your relationship with G.d, if you belive in him, is strictly between him and yourself ... and nobody else's business. I believe in the goodness of mankind, and that it will ultimately triumph over evil.

I am a Seventh-day Adventist. I believe in the trinity of God- God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I believe that God sent His son Jesus Christ to redeem us from all our sins. He is coming back again to take us to that heavenly home that He has prepared for us. He has instituted the seventh day which is the Sabbath (Saturday) as the day of rest. We recognize the Ten Commandments that He gave us.
