About this guide
Billions of people pray, meditate, fast and gather under different names and rules. This guide sets out what the world’s main faiths teach about belief, prayer, ethics and how to treat each other, where they agree and where they differ, described as beliefs, not endorsed.
More about this guide
It gives a short, fair overview of the world’s faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam; Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism; Taoism, Confucianism and Shinto; and indigenous and pagan traditions. It then looks at the faiths and thinkers who see one truth behind them all, and the threads they share.
It is honest about where the faiths truly disagree and what scholars say about the universalist idea, and ends with ideas for respectful curiosity in everyday life.
