Fisher, 2014, p. 36 Indigenous religions are typically polytheistic and pantheistic, involving a belief that the divine is manifested throughout the physical realm, often involving a supreme god, e.g., Great Spirit. They believe the dark gods of the spirit world are the ones to be afraid of or to placate. Indigenous peoples believe in the importance of maintaining a right relationship with the creator god and the numerous gods governing natural phenomena and forces. Fisher, 2014, p. 40 Indigenous peoples consider themselves connected to all forms of life due to their pantheistic world view. They acknowledge a Circle of Right Relationships, requiring them to respectively cultivate and maintain order among all forms of life and the natural order. Humans are seen as capable of good or bad and under the influence of curses, vows, incantations, or evil spirits. In this sense, they may be animistic. Many have a special shaman or witch doctor who is supposed to Indigenous peoples recognize that both benevolent and malevolent forces exist in the spiritual realm. These forces can have an impact upon individuals, circumstance and events in the physical world. Good and evil are seen as forces that compete for dominance in a person and in the world. Sometimes there is an ethnocentric idea that ‘our’ group is the good one and all outsiders are ‘bad’. This idea can lead to wars and conflicts. Fisher, 2014, The idea of the path or the way or a lifeway is their main idea of salvation. It is the path to the good. This idea is closely aligned with a responsibility for nature and this world, connected with the idea of the Circle of Right Relationships and the holistic connection among all things in the natural world. Oneness with nature is for some seen as a goal of life. Others see ‘salvation’ as surviving and not being defeated by Many indigenous peoples acknowledge a spiritual existence in the afterlife, evidenced by rituals and practices surrounding ancestor veneration. Some groups have a notion of an afterlife, but others do not.

Jainism is derived from the word Jina, referring to a human being who has conquered all inner passions (like anger, attachment, greed and pride) and possess Kevala Jnana (pure infinite knowledge). Both religions deny the existence of God as an absolute and eternal entity and do not acknowledge His role in the creation of the universe. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 71-74) Hinduism holds that they are in reality unique to each other, and even though sometimes they may seem to overlap each other, they mean to fulfill the same religious goal. In Jainism, people have an eternal soul that travels down or up the levels of existence while relying upon how much karma matter they carry. As indicated by Jainism, individuals have a free will and can accomplish self-salvation and enlightenment through their endeavors. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 127-131) both is not the same as what we, for the most part, comprehend about them. As per Hindu sacred text, divinity is represented by light, order, purity, and magnanimity. Impurity, darkness, chaos, and selfishness all represent evil. Jains do not have faith in a God in the way that the different religions do. Jainism perspective of God empowers Jains to explain the suffering that exists on the planet without the intellectual challenges confronted by religions that have a soul or endless stay in paradise. In Jainism, it is a quiet and action less presence. In Jainism, one excellent way to achieve freedom (moksha) is specified. The predefined three-fold path comprises of the three gems of Jainism (Right knowledge, Right conduct, and Right belief). In Hinduism, nobody outright approach to salvation is specified. (Fisher, 2014, pp.102-108, 123) punishment or reward for how they led their actual lives. In Jainism, the afterlife is exceptionally fascinating. An individual could wind up in a variety of ways. This inevitability relies upon their karma; on the off chance that you have shed all awful karma, then you are set.

A few Hindus leave their material belonging and social world, and at that point participate in lifelong Sannyasa (self-denying practices) to accomplish moksha. In Jainism, time is repeating, traveling through stages in which Dharma becomes progressively weaker, and conditions in karma-bhumi deteriorate in like manner. Each of these cycles is set apart by the arrival of the the general population of Hindu religion throughout the world. Being the oldest organized religion the world over, Hinduism is considered to be the third biggest religion on the planet. Some of the celebrations include Vasant Panchami, Lohri, Pongal, Makar Sankranti, and Thaipusam.

They trust that everything is made of Qi energy and that there is a Yin, which is considered to be the dark aspect, and a Yang, which is the opposite of Yin. This Qi energy is always changing and adjusting itself. This perspective is likewise where their belief in Tao originates from. The flow and 7 mbeliefs.org.

They exclusively believe in Tao or The Way. They additionally found that people appear to digress from the creative rhythm of the universe, The Way, and Tao. Shangdi is the creative force that ends up noticeably indivisible from all creatures and brings order to the world through a primordial air. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 189) The culture of Daoism and Confucianism holds firm to the conviction that the central role of life is for one to achieve his or her highest potential. Arriving at this point is accomplished through a selfcultivation which thus endures all through the person's lifetime. This process can likewise prompt one turning into a "perfect" individual. Daoism concentrates more on the idea of things and additionally immortality. Confucianism focuses on acts Their perspective of good and bad depends on how evil and suffering are unavoidable in our lives and can likewise be utilized to advance learning and development among individuals. With regards to mistakes, they are not considered as sins, but instead as an opportunity to accomplish something different the next time around. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 209) Taoism does not hold a belief in salvation. They accept there is nothing that one should be saved from. Their conviction is that life should be in harmony with Tao and one should not wish for material riches, stature or glory, and it will give you a happy life. The Confucianism way to salvation is that people should live and carry on in such a way that allows them to venture into In Taoism, what occurs after death is not imperative. Their aspiration is everlasting life. They get a kick out of the chance to fast and meditate a lot to live more advantageous and stressfree life. They trust that passing away is only a return to Tao which signifies "the way.” With Confucianism, the afterlife does not matter as much as what a person does in life. Confucian thinking and practices come from followers’ Taoism practices include offering prayers to gods, refinement, meditation, and making an offering to the gods. These customs are performed by the Priests and their aides, who serenade, dance, and play wind instruments and percussions. Confucianism does not have any particular customs or practices. One of the practices, however, is to demonstrate a regard for their older folks by visiting their Taoists celebrate the Chinese New Year by heading off to the sanctuary, trading gifts, attending parades, enjoying the dance of the Lions and Dragons, and furthermore firecracker shows. They have confidence in three certain entities, which are the Heavenly official, the Earth official, and the water official. Most Confucian celebrations are derived from different religions. They celebrate the WORLDVIEW CHART 8 rhythm of the universe. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 192) of uprightness, setting great examples for others to take after to maintain a very well organized society.

Everything in the universe was made by God and just by God. Judaism totally rejects the dualistic thought that evil was made by Satan or some other god. Everything originates from God. This thought specifically takes after from the way that God has no physical shape. Along these lines, (2017). Retrieved 22 July 2017, from http://lifeafterdea th.com/life-afterdeath-shinto/. As per Judaism, God is a single, complete, whole, unbreakable entity. He cannot be separated into parts or depicted by characteristics. Endeavors to credit an attribute to God is just man's poor attempt to comprehend His infinite nature. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 246-250) People were made in the image of God, which means in his inclination and quintessence. Humankind was formed with two driving forces: a genuine desire and an evil motivation. Individuals can pick which drive to take after. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 278280) Since Jews have a belief in the story of Adam and Eve and the abhorrent snake tempting Eve, I would believe there is a contrast between evil and good. There is additionally a reference to Satan. Be that as it may, evil and good do not appear to be accentuated on much. So I would say Jews are stressed over doing right in this life due to the Judaism is a religion that puts more focus on doing right and adoring God. There is a talk of paradise; however, it is not stressed on. Jewish lessons regarding the matter of life after death are scanty: The Torah, the most imperative Jewish scripture, has no reasonable reference to the hereafter by any means. The Jewish place of worship is a synagogue. Prayer and worship are carried out here, and a standout amongst the most well understood Jewish religious practices is that of eating kosher foods. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 283) The most important Jewish holy days are the Sabbath, the three pilgrimage celebrations (Sukkot, Shavuot, and Passover) and the two High Holy Days (Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah). For Jews, it is prohibited to go to work on any of the said days.

(2014) Living Religions Pearson: Upper Saddle River, NJ God made everything in his great wisdom. Creation was deliberate, not arbitrary, and in this way, the universe is not ethically neutral, but on a fundamental level, good. In this deliberate creation, everything and everybody are inherently significant. God's purpose or contract between God and man. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 252-255) (2017). Retrieved 22 July 2017, from http://www.religi onfacts.com/jud aism/holidays. Christianity and Judaism share the same view on God, in that He is considered to be a single, complete, whole, unbreakable entity. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 302307)) Central to the Christian comprehension of human nature is the conviction that the first people were made in God's image. The character individuals were set up in was good, yet as per the Bible, people were given a free choice with which to decide for God or against him. (Fisher, 2014, pp. 311-312) For Christians, all integrity streams from God's fundamental character, and evil is declining to submit to His love and authority and be of service Him. The issue of sin's presence is a stickier issue, causing much verbal confrontation among Christian researchers, scholars, and philosophers. Christians trust that by their belief and confidence in Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible, they will achieve salvation. As indicated by Christian understandin g, salvation is made available by the life, demise, and revival of Christ, which with regards to salvation is alluded to as the "atonement." Christian convictions about existence in the wake of death change marginally amongst groups and individual Christians, but the vast majority of Christians trust that a heaven is a place where adherents go after passing away to appreciate the nearness to God and other devotees. In this paradise, Christian practices fluctuate by the group, yet standard components incorporate a Sunday service of worship, corporate and private prayer, reading and studying the Scriptures, and participations in customs, for example, communion and baptism. Christian services of worship incorporate The most important Christian festival is Easter, a spring celebration that observes Christ's revival from the dead. Easter follows Holy Week, which includes Maundy Thursday, Palm Sunday, and Good Friday.
