Question

Taoism
Buddhism
Hunduism
Christianity
Judaism
Confucianism
Islam

And which of them have a tower used to call people to prayer?

Answer 1

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are the three Abrahamic religions. They are the monothesistic ones. The others are more Eastern philsophies that define gods differently.

Answer 2

Judaism, Christianity and Islam

Muslims use a tower to call for prayer 5 times a day, but so do Christians by bells .... don't know about Jews

Answer 3

I am not sure on a couple but I do know that Judaism was the originator of Christianity and Islam and they are all monotheistic and in fact believe in the same God...just in different ritual.

Answer 4

I would say, Christianity as is taught in the Bible (John 14:28, Revelation in which the lamb of God approaches the one seated on the throne, Matthew 24:36, John 1:1, 18; 10:34-36 and too many other scriptures to mention where God the Father's servants are referred properly as "gods" or elha' in Hebrew. Mighty Ones). Not the Christianity as much of Christendom teaches.

Judaism

and Islam

Answer 5

.Truthfully speaking all of them are monotheistic.

Taoism teaches the application of simplicity to life and argues against seeking meta-physical truths and encourages practitioners to get on with their life look at what their basic human needs are and satisfy those first and foremost without getting caught up in all the luggage of life.

Buddhism is an extension of Hinduism. Hinduism teaches that all "gods" are manifestations of the one God that created all things and is called Brahma by Hindus. Read the Dhama Pada, Buddha is quoted referring to Brahma.....Regardless of what the Dalai Lama might seem to say!

Christianity, Judaism and Islam are Monotheistic but many Muslims view Christians as Polytheists because of the Holy Trinity (see first answer!).

Confucianism is more a philosophy or code of ethics than a religion

The further you look, the more you find out there is a Universal set of standards which mankind constantly ignores in the pursuit of being right and dominating others. We could find a suitable quote in the scriptures of any of the above beliefs but for arguments sake let's just pick Jesus:

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Does anybody wish to disagree?

Merry Christmas everyone.

Boo!! Hiss!! Behind you! aren't I the bad guy for telling the truth. You know you've given a good answer on religion and spirituality when you get a good old number of thumbs downs!!

Answer 6

I would say Judaism, Islam. Taoism could be (although the Tao is not a human deity, it is more like an energy. Christianity has three Gods that are one (that is more like Henotheism) Hinduism has many Gods that are one (same as Christianity) although Hinduism believes that all religions worship the same God. Confucianism and Buddhism is more like agnosticism when it comes to Gods.

Answer 7

Hinduism is actually monotheistic. there is only the god Brahma and all the other images are avatars of the one great god. Then Judaism and its subsect Islam are also monotheistic. Christianity is not monotheistic. The other three are deistic or atheistic.

Answer 8

Judaism, Christianity, Islam

Answer 9

Buddhism Taoism and Confucianism are all ways of life... not actually religions... all the rest are monotheistic... someone may disagree with me on Hinduism... though Hinduism has thousands of gods, they are all manifestations of Brahma, the god of creation... another point of contention are catholics and protestants, who believe that there is one God, but he is three separate entities... technically trinitarian, but also monotheistic... the rest of the denominations of Christianity are all monotheistic...

Answer 10

Islam is
