A question for my religion class.....?

Question

I have to fill out a paper telling about a religion that I don't know about. This paper is a stepping stone to an interview I have due for my final paper. Can anyone tell me the names of places of worship for different religions? I have tries churches, synagogues, and places of worship. Everything leads me back to Christian churches. Help me, please!! Best answer gets 10 pts. Thank you!

John R.--- response to your comment is as follows: The religion class is not teaching religion exactly. It is not like it's a Christianity class. I have church for that. This is to teach an understanding of people from other faiths.

Answer 1

Christianity - Church.
Judaism - Synagogue.
Taoism - Temple. (I think.)
Shintoism - Temple. (I think)
Buddhism - Temple.
Hindu - Temple.
Islam - Mosque.
Wicca, and some other Pagan faiths generally do not have permanent places of worship. 'Worship' (Not really the right term, honor, veneration or communion would typically be more applicable.) is usually done outside whenever possible, preferably in a natural setting.

In addition to those, many faiths erect shrines in various locations for many reasons.

Answer 2

Many Native American religions use "Sweat Lodges" for worship, meditation, and spiritual enlightenment. They are a half dome made to certain standards, traditionally covered with buffalo hide, more recently with many blankets, at the center is a pit where heated stones are brought in to raise the temperature of the lodge and produce the sweat part, water is pored over the stones to make steam. Temperatures can exceed 150 F. A tribal elder, grandfather, or uncle, leads the lodge in prayer and officiates at the entire ceremony. For details of lodges in different tribes check out individual tribes web sites for more information.

Answer 3

Why don't you search the internet? Some Buddhists are very fond of the Bodhi Tree where the Buddha became enlightenend. Muslims travel to Mekka and Medina. Jews have a lot of places in Jerusalem. Christians as well. Hindus have tons of places in India. type in the keywords and off you go. Just to give you ideas.
