WHAT r the three main similarities do u find in all the religions?

Answer 1

God, people, language.

Answer 2

I don't three similarities in all religions. This may be because I've studied a *lot* of religions, including many that mainstream Christian scholars don't call "real religions" because they don't contain whatever traits they want to believe are required of a religion.

Maybe they're looking for
--Belief about the nature of deity
--Explanation of purpose of life/afterlife
--Social rules to make it fit into society

But not all religions have those. Many pagan religions don't have a single "purpose of life" answer; the individual finds their own answer.

Answer 3

If you include all world religions (not just the Abrahamic religions) then my answer would be:

- A sacred, revered book or books with "special" authorship which sets forth information about the requirements of the higher power(s), (deity/deities) and gives enlightenment about the where, why and how of existence. Legalistic, prophetic and historic information may be included in the sacred book or supplemental texts. Poetic writing and hymns of worship and devotion may be included.

- moral rules (set forth in the book) for harmonious living in society (including consequences for breaking the rules)

- an enlightened/spiritually inspired and charismatic leader/teacher who promotes the creed, proselytizes followers and may be mentioned in the book. Should he die, others may become leaders/teachers. Although they may not necessarily be endowed with divine inspiration.

Sacred books then would include the Torah (TaNaKh), Bible with New Testament including Gospel of Jesus, Pseudepigrapha, Apocrypha, Gnostic texts, Ginza Rba, Haran Gawaitha, Qur'an, Writings of Baha'ullah, Zend-Avesta, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, Upanishads, Bhagavadgita (with the Sanatsugâtiya and the Anugitâ), Rigveda, Dhammapada and The Sutta-Nipâta, Shri Guru Granth Sahib,Uttara-adhyayan-Sutra,Tao-te-ching, I ching, Analects of Kungfutze (Confucius), Zhuan Falun, Kojiki, Nihongi, Kogoshui, Corpus Hermeticum, Gilgamesh, Eddas, Saqas, Urantia and Dianetics. Early religions had a set of scriptural texts. Four Vedas of Hindus and three pitakas of the Buddhists are famous. Jains too have the twelve Agams of scriptural texts. Later religions have a single scripture. The Bible for the Christians, the Koran for the Muslims, the Avesta for the Persians, the Guru Granth Sahib for the Sikhs, etc. The scriptural texts of different religions are written in different languages. Jains scriptures are written in Ardhmagadhi language-spoken by the common people of ancient Magadha (Bihar) and Koshala (Uttar Pradeh) countries. Later on the Jain scriptures were written in Sanskrit and the other languages. Many of the various texts have been translated into English.
