Five major religions

Today in class we talked about the last three religions that we were not able to cover in class yesterday. The three religions that we talked about today was Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism. We basically went over the same type of categories as we did in the first two religions but obviously used these religions instead. Some of the things we talked about was the number of adherents which is basically just the number of people in that religion. We also talked about their founder (if they had one), what people call them, and what their holy book. One thing that I thought was interesting was Hinduism did not have a distinct founder which I thought was strange because someone has to discover something it just doesn’t magically appear. Something else that I found interesting was the number of adherents for Judaism was one of the smallest ones. We thought that correct because do to the holocaust and if that event didn’t occur then the population would have been bigger because all those kids in the holocaust would of reproduce and the cycle would have kept going. Overall, todays class was very interesting.
