The three traditional religions in the world

Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

Religion has a very long history. The earliest religions can be traced back to four or five thousand years ago. Up to now, there are nearly 50 thousand religious groups in the world. The three world religions with a long history and the widest influence are Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

If you look at the number and distribution of believers, Christianity may be the largest religion in the world today. Christianity originated in the Palestinian area of West Asia in the first century. According to the Bible, Christianity is strictly a branch of Judaism. More than 500 years BC, the Jewish nation was conquered by the king of Babylon and became a prisoner of Babylon. The ancient Babylonians were imprisoned in dark prisons, and their lives were hopeless. They fantasize all day that a savior can come and save them. Religion was born when human life was extremely dark. So all the Jews who lived by this belief got together and founded Judaism.
