Many times people got into fights, end friendships, and become even violence because of some disagreements on matters of faith or religious. Sometimes knowing more about other religions might help people avoid conflicts between each other, and eventually might lead to living together peacefully. The most famous three religions -People of the book- are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Judaism is the oldest organized religion in the world; however, it only has 14 million followers around the world most of them centered in North America and Israel. Christianity, came after Judaism and have two billion believers around the world, and that’s about one third of the world population. Finally, Islam came after Judaism and Christianity. Even though Islam came afterwards, it spread quickly around the world, and today there are around 1.3 billion Muslims around the world. Although those three religions might look very different on the outside, they have much more in common than people might think. The first thing I found that is almost the same in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is they are all Monotheism. The meaning of that is they believe in one God, and he is all knowing, all seeing, and all powerful. They believe that they need God to help them because humans are subject to sin. The three religions also believe in good and evil and that humans choose which they want to be. Other common things are Heaven and Hell. Basically they believe that doing good deeds and not committing
Religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe. In today’s society there are many religious lifestyles people stand by. Popular ones consist of Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. When looking at Christianity and Buddhism it is easy to identify some major differences. For instance, both the religions were started and founded by different people and in dissimilar ways. A second one would be what they believe in; number of deities, and what they base their knowledge around. A final difference between the two would be how they practice their religion and worship their “God.”
There are five main religions in the world today: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all three different religions that many may not think can even be compared. At a glance, the religions are derived from different locations, the members of the religions look and act different, and some of the widely known practices are what make the religions so distinct. However, they are more similar than most people think. In the core of the three religions, many of their beliefs and practices show to be extremely similar, if not the same. While they do have many similarities, there are also many differences that set these religions apart from each other which make them unique. To fully understand where these similarities and differences come from,
There are roughly 4,200 different religions in the world today, among them the largest are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These three religions are more similar then one would think. Christianity is the largest religion in the world with 2 billion followers and are called Christians. Islam is the second largest religion in the world with 1.3 billion followers.

It can be said that there is no such thing as Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. In a general sense I agree with this statement, but I also disagree. As human beings, we naturally classify things into groups in order to make sense of them. From the moment we are born our brains begin to classify between male and female, loud and soft, big and small, or dark and light. By assimilating things that are similar we are able to learn new things faster by finding connections to something we already know, religions are no different. We classify people who profess a belief in Jesus Christ as the Messiah as Christians and people who believe that Mohamed was the final prophet as Muslims. By classifying we are by no means ignoring the fact that there are differences among members of the group, but we are instead grouping by the larger overarching concept shared among them all. We group people with similar beliefs into categories and call them Hindus, Buddhist, Christians, Jews, or Muslims. While there is no one thing that all people professing a religion believe, there are general concepts that they agree upon which cause us to group them into categories and title them as Christians, Jews, or Muslims.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are three of the most recognized monotheistic religions worldwide. These religions are often referred to as the Abrahamic religions because of their history to the founding father, Abraham. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are closely related with varying differences. Christianity was born from within the Jewish tradition, and Islam developed from both Christianity and Judaism. We take a look at some of the major similarities and major differences of these widely practiced and often times controversial religions.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam do have an inherent thread of violence woven into the fabric of their ideation and scriptures. They do have an inherent thread because of we have seen so much violence that has been caused because of religion. Many times people are offended by others’ belief, which can cause violence due to the different perspectives. Furthermore, these religions get very protective of their beliefs, if you believe something, there must be reasons for your beliefs. Therefore, no violence should rise when someone disagrees, they should stay true to their beliefs and not cause violence to rise when someone disagrees with their views. Monotheistic people often don’t act up on the violence thread in their religion although it is often called by monotheism cultivated intolerance. Since monotheist believe that there is only one way to worship and acknowledge God, they are very closed minded. Although there are no rights in the monotheistic system, dissents, heresy, error, the odd view, blasphemy, should be considered malevolent and intolerable. Someone shouldn’t take it to heart when someone says something negative about your religion. The state and religion should be separated, just the same way that religion and the government should be separated. Although the government seems to have a test that is unconsciously made by its people. Monotheists who have performed violent acts in the name of God not tapped into a genuine and authentic strain of violence within
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are among the best known and most widely practiced religions today, and have had enormous cultural, ideological, and historical impact on the peoples of every continent. Arguably more so than any other ideological systems, Abrahamic religion has been among the most influential forces in human history. The shared elements of their traditions have allowed them to develop in part through a multi-faceted dialogue with each other. These faiths, despite sharing a common Abrahamic background and a belief in a single all-powerful God, differ in their understanding of that God and man’s relationship with him. Notwithstanding the shared doctrines of the three faiths, these theological deviations have propagated themselves into the varied and diverse methods of religious practice we see today. It is important to understand the differences between these teachings, in order to better understand their impact on the lives of billions of people.
Judaism (Jewish), Christianity (Christians), and Islam (Muslims) are all world religions and each has a great deal to offer faithful followers, but each one merits serious attention, and full devotion. Religion and identity are highly stressed, and are never casual, indifferent, or meant to be spread out among contending convictions. Like Judaism and Islam, Christianity has beautiful rituals and festivals with unique music, and values and ideals worthy of a great religion.
Religion to many is the belief and adoration of a force that is above humanity, the Abrahamic religions, (Christianity, Judaism and Islam) which comprises of about 54% the worlds.

Religion is found within all societies on Earth and plays a major role in the culture of a community. Today I will be defining religion, discussing the three religious beliefs systems that exist, why societies have religion and delving into magic and rituals.
To begin, the each of the Abrahamic Religions are similar when one considers their essential ideas. Take for instance, the fact that central to the teachings of each of the three is the idea of eternal damnation or eternal salvation, in other words, heaven and hell. Yet they differ on exactly how it’s understood. In the Muslim Qur’an for example Hell is called Jahannam and the Islamic heaven is
All religions have similarities and differences, Islam, Christianity and Buddhism are no exception. Even in their early conception these three religions cultivated on the ideals of humility, love, compassion and a plethora of others. Although they have these similarities, they all come with their differences that make them distinctive features that make them all unique in their own way. Even with all the similarities and differences with these religions they all have a way to bring people in their followings.
One of the beliefs that Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all have in common is that they are all monotheistic religions. They believe that there is only one divine God. They believe that God is the creator on the universe and that there is only one true God. Besides all three religions being monotheistic, they are also considered Abrahamic religions. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are considered Abrahamic religions because they all recognize that Abraham is the first prophet for each religion. Islam traces their origins to Abraham
