Well, let's start with Christianity. Before Jesus died on the cross, he said to Peter, "On you I will build my church." So Peter essentially became the first Pope of the Catholic church, and from then on the "first church" continued to appoint popes. Then comes Martin Luther into the picture. He saw some real problems in the Catholic church that he wanted changed. He demanded change, but was excommunicated instead. Still, he had followers. They became the Lutheran church. And so they were the first to "protest" the Catholic church, thereby becoming "protestants." Then there were the Catholics in England. The king didn't like the fact that he could not divorce, so he broke away from the church too and made his own, the Anglican church. \n\nSo to keep it short and sweet. Different religions form when a group in one religion breaks away from the original and it's like a domino effect and they just evolved into what you see today: the Episcopalians, the Methodists, the Presbyterians, the Baptists, the Pentecostals, etc.

that is what you think? well we have different religions because all of us think that way. If we would have thought alike there would have been no religion at all. People to make their point in a different term, coin out a new religion and then people follow them.. and this continues forever.. The only true religion that existed at the birth of mankind and even today and even after all religions would cease to exist is the religion of Humanity....

Differences between the two religions began the day Abraham separated Ishmael and Hagar his mother from Isaac and Sarah, the progenitors of these faiths.  Both religions believe in the same monotheistic God, but views on how to relate and otherwise commune with Him differ drastically.  Christianity teaches that Jesus is the only way to God, Islam teaches that Jesus was not God Incarnate, but rather a prophet of Allah, who at the end of time will come back to proclaim Islam the true religion.

Don't obsses over your religions. To me it's not a big deal at all. Just love eachother for who you are. And realize that there is more than just your religion. It takes many different people to shape the world.

Mostly there are Hindus. Muslims come next. Buddishts are next, and Christians are last. Look up each of these religions to understand what they believe.

Hinduism. It still has all the ancient features- shamans, mother goddess, annimism, sun worship..... \n\nIt is not an organised religion but an eternal one --Sanatan. it has developed all through civilisation and still keeps modifing , without negating its older versions. Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism all the paths are its branches.\n\nIt is monothesit religion which allows worship of god in the form of your choice. From formless Nirgun Brahm to local deities all are viewd as aspects of one devine gem.

It is interesting that, with the exception of the Mormons (an off-shoot of the Christian religion), no major religion has been formed since the age of modern science. Think about it! All major religions were created before people knew that the Earth is round. There was one fellow in Texas that tried to start a new religion. His name was David Koresh. We know how that turned out.

There are currently from 1,000 to 20,000 different religions depending on the survey.  Many of them consist of worship to jealous god or gods.   If you choose the wrong religion, then you may wind up in Hell.\n\nIf you are playing the odds, the only sane choice is to be agnostic.  At least that way, no god will get pissed at you for worshipping a false god or gods.

That depends on your definition of religion. Is a world-philosophy a religion? Are the different sects of Christianity different religions? Is at the very least Protestantism a different religion from Catholicism and both different from Mormonism? This article details 22 different religions, the smallest of which has 180,000-250,000 followers, but it includes atheism as a religion, which is somewhat paradoxical, and uses large groupings.

Religions come from people representing\nGod.  Creation comes from God.\n\nFor the most part, religions are tools that\nmankind uses to nail down something, that's\nnot supposed to be nailed down, to begin with.\n\nWorship life in Truth and in Spirit.

But all religions are not same. Christianity, or Islam, for example, are based on monotheism, where as hinduism, is polytheism. It's the political views. One's religion does not contribute as much to conflict as politics. Some people give some political issues the name of "religion" and cause much friction between 2 or more religions. That's what causes the conflicts. Because of so many years of believing that religion is the reason for controversies, now the people are actually starting to believe that the conflict is due to different religions and not politics, which is further complicating the relations of two different religions.

I'm Catholic and my good friend is a Christian (protestant), and my other good friend is a Muslim, we all talk about our religions, and differences among them, but we still respect each others beliefs. I think the key is to learn how to listen, understand, and respect each other.
