Are there any other faiths besides Christianity based so totally on belief?

Question

Of all the faiths I have studied I cannot think of any other.

Judaism and Islam are very much based on our actions.

Maybe I phrased the question poorly. Every other religion I know has things expected of us, usually through action. Christianity is just about belief.

Answer 1

Obviously none of them understand that Judaism is not about rewards in the afterlife, but about bringing peace on earth in this life. Christianity cannot exist without "belief" because no one can tell them what happens in the afterlife. On the other hand, everyone understands the concept of peace on earth and the only "belief" required is which path will work best to that end. I suspect that's why the Bible places such a high value on "wisdom."

Answer 2

Judaism. Muslim.

Response to additional details:

The same can be said about Christianity. It all boils down to faith in an imaginary being called god. That's the supposed source of doctrine for Judaism, Muslim and Christianity.

Response to second additional details.

A lot of Christian groups do say that all you have to do is believe and you are saved. There are some groups that require more than belief to be saved. Mormons, who consider themselves Christians(I know it can be argued if they really are or not), have a lot more rules to be followed in order to be saved. So, I guess that it depends on the branch of Christianity.

Answer 3

How many religions have u studied? Every religion is based on a supreme being. Since the supreme being cannot be seen, it means that the religion is based on total belief.
The reason why it is by faith that christians are saved is because of the sacrifice of Jesus. Before he died there were books dedicated to the laws & rules to follow to be saved, (Leviticus)
It is said that with satanism, Satan actually attends the meetings physically, so this religion is probably one of the few not based on faith. Satanists can vouch for the existence of God & Jesus. It is just that they reject them in favor of Satan.

Answer 4

Doesn't everybody believe what they believe? Why is that solely a Christian thing??

I do think that many people have the wrong impression that Christians believe on blind faith, but that isn't true. If that is what you're referring to, you're misinformed. Faith is different than belief. We believe in God based on the fact that He has revealed Himself and has entered into a personal relationship with us. He is as real to me as the person in the next desk at the office. Faith is just believing for the next step. (God told me to do this, will He be there to provide what I need?) Faith gets stronger with each success, because statistically it is more and more probable that God will come through because He has in the past.

Answer 5

Not that I'm aware of. It is a central Christian teaching that no one can do anything to make him or herself righteous in God's eyes. Only faith in God can do that. Think of Abraham: God considered him to be righteous even before the Mosaic Law came. Christianity stresses a deep, personal relationship with God that is based largely on faith.

Answer 6

All faiths are based on belief. That is the definition of faith.

All faith systems have underpinnings of evidence. That is what supports the followers to accept the faith.

You exhibit your faith even now in asking this question, that someone would answer. You had no evidence they would other than past observation.

Answer 7

I disagree with you about Christianity. It is clear from the Bible that while we are saved by faith, faith without works is not enough. We, too, are required to act.

James 2:14-26
"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe--and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"-- and he was called a friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead."

Answer 8

My faith in Christ is based on the resurrection and the fact that no one has been able to refute it. Since Jesus rose again, He is the Messiah and the only way into heaven.

Answer 9

EVERY religion is based on faith.. there is none based on fact.

Answer 10

How about Muslums.
