praying in churches and cathedrals while holding a crucifix
or a rosary. The beads of the rosary are used for counting
prayers offered in devotion to Mary.And it is not difficult
to identify nuns and priests, distinctive in their black garb.
Protestant - In Protestant lands, chapels and churches
abound, and on Sunday parishioners usually put on their
best clothes and congregate to sing hymns and hear
sermons. Often their clergy wears a black suit and a
distinguishingclerical collar.
- The largest theological differences between
Catholic and Protestant Christians are the
authority of the Pope and the form of the
Eucharist in Communion. Most Protestants
broke away from the Catholic Church because
they challenged the clergy's and the Pope's
authority.
Muslim - In Islamic countries, you can hear the voices of
the muezzins, the Muslim criers who make the call from
minarets five times a day, summoning the faithful to the
salat, or ritual. They view the Holy Qur’an as the Islamic
book of scripture. According to Islamic belief, it was
revealed by God and was given to the prophet
Muhammad by the angel Gabriel in the seventh century
C.E.
Hinduism - In countries where Hinduism is practiced, you
will often see people doing puja---a ceremony that may
include making offerings to their gods, in the form of
coconut, flowers, and apples. A priest will apply a spot of
red or yellow pigment, the tilak, to the foreheads of the
believers. Millions also flock each year to the river Ganges
to be purified by its water.
Buddhism - On the streets of many Buddhist lands, the
mons of Buddhism usually in saffron, black, or red robes,
are seen as a sign of piety. Ancient temples with the
serene Buddha on display are evidence of the antiquity of
the Buddhist faith.
Shintoism/Shinto - Practiced mainly in Japan, Shinto
enters into daily life with family shrines and offerings to
mundane things, even success in school examinations.
Another religious activity known the world over is that of
people going from house to house and standing on the
streets with Bibles and Bible literature. With the
Watchtower and Awake! Magazines in evidence, nearly
everyone recognizes these people as Jehovah’s
Witnesses.
What makes people react so vehemently
in matters of religion?
As Geoffrey Parrinder states in World’s
Religions---From Ancient History to the
Present: “To study different religions need
not imply infidelity to one’s own faith, but
rather it may be enlarged by seeing how
other people have sought for reality and
have been enriched by their search.”
Knowledge leads to understanding, and
understanding to the tolerance of people
with a different viewpoint.

blades, sliced open the chests of sacrificial
