Can you tell me one belief/concept of at least 4 religions other than the religion of your own?

And as for judging atheists and agnostics, I just ask you to respect their belief for not believing in god, I myself am an agnostic and I respect your choices

I just want to know how many people know about others in the world

onewhosubmits- not acceptable answers, you put down hinduism- that was not a concept of the religion, the idols are symbolic
and paganism- what do you mean false deities?

I follow a Celtic Reconstructionist (neo-pagan) path.
Hinduism: Worships deities of many different names which all come from one source, tolerant of other faiths
Buddhism: Does not worship a deity, detachment is very important, peaceful
Amish: Monotheistic, believes in the concepts of heaven and hell, self-sufficient and strong community ties
Holiness (Christian denomination): Believes in faith healing, demon possession, women dress respectfully and modestly
Catholicism: Believe in the need for a priest to intercede for a follower, do not believe in divorce, do a lot of charity work, beautiful rituals
Wicca: polytheistic (or duotheistic), believe in some type of law of return, tight-knit groups, loyalty to oaths
Asatru: Intensive study of historical culture, mythology, and practices, tight-knit groups
Judaism: does not follow the prophet Jesus, very devoted, strong community ties
JW (LDS): believe that they are called to witness their religion to others, services are more geared towards teaching than preaching, do not pass a collection plate

Jews, believe in God alone, but not all of the messengers
Christians, believe Jesus (a messenger) is the son of God
Hindus worship Idols they made themselves
Pagans worship false deities, besides God alone

I pray to God alone, and believe in all the messengers! I am Muslim.

Good day :D

I am Unitarian Unversalist

Roman Catholic - believe Jesus is God, believe in Holy Trinity, believe in the Virginity of Mary, the mother of Jesus, believe in the resurrection of Jesus

Pagan - believes (sometimes) in more than one god, believes that deity is both male and female, believes in true magick, believes in the power of intention

General Christian - believes Jesus is God, believes in the Devil, believes in the power of baptism to wash away sin, believes in what the Bible says, at least to some degree

Islam - believes that Jesus was a prophet, believes Mohammend was the greater prophet, believes in one God, called Allah, believes that Islam is one true religion for all, believes that Mohammend had direct contact with Allah and that his writings are true and his laws to be obeyed

I have studied many religions - and I have found a common thread that runs through all of them. It is the golden rule. Do unto others as you would do unto yourself, plant rice and rice grows, reap for what you sow, what goes around comes around - every religion I studied had this written one way or the other.
