Christianity

Christians are people who believe that God was born as a man. Jesus was both God and man. Because of this, Christians celebrate Christmas every year as Jesus’ birthday. In addition to Christmas, Christians observe many other traditions. Christians also believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible. They practice observance of the Sabbath and do not defame others. They do not speak ill of them or envy their possessions.

Buddhism

Buddhism is a philosophical system founded by the Buddha. Buddha’s teachings are known as ‘Dharma’, which means ‘cosmic law’ in Sanskrit. Dhamma is a principle of righteousness. Buddhism’s most fundamental principle is to be a light unto yourself. The Buddha’s teachings were esoteric, however, and his followers had a variety of interpretations of his teachings.

Sikhism

Sikhs are people of Punjab. The religion was created by Guru Nanak, a nonpracticing Hindu who rejected rituals and idol worship. Instead, he spread a message of love and unity between all peoples. His philosophy was that all religions are good, regardless of their differences. Despite their differences, Sikhs believe that all religions are good, and the only way to be free is to work hard and never beg for money.
