Christianity, for instance, is based on the teachings of Jesus and the Bible and is focused on the idea of salvation, the belief in the Trinity, and the resurrection of the dead. Islam is based on the teachings of Muhammad and their holy book, the Quran, and it is centered on the belief in one God, prayer and fasting, and the pilgrimage to Mecca. Hinduism is one of the oldest existing religions, and believes in many gods and goddesses, as well as karma and reincarnation. Buddhism focuses on the teachings of the Buddha and is centered around the idea of achieving enlightenment, or Nirvana. Lastly, Judaism is based on the teachings of the Torah and is focused on the idea of having a special relationship with God. The major differences between these religions are their beliefs and practices, as each one has its own distinct theology, codes and rituals.
