There is an abundance of religions in every country. That's what makes the world beautiful. Variety. In fact, there is such a variety, it shouldn't even be allowed to close your mind to one set of ideals. But being the way that I am, I understand that everyone has their own precepts.

Five.
Religions that teach truth
Religions that teach works
Religions that teach experiences
Religions that teach compatability
Religions that teach humanism
You can fit every religion in the world into one of those catagories.

basically, TWO
religions in which people try to "reach up to God and" placate an angry God or make god in their image (considering that he is what they want him to be)
and
Faith, in which a Holy and Just but also Loving and Merciful God that reaches out to mankind, offering Salvation which He secured when He reached out on the Cross.
