Most religions celebrate their new year, but the year doesn't always start in January and end in December. For example, the Jewish year is based on the movement of the moon rather than the earth/sun, and we celebrate new year (Rosh Hashannah) some time in September or October, depending on when it happens to fall.

New Year is not a religious celebration for the Christian faith. And there is a seperate Jewish and Islamic new year, as they have different calenders.
