Answer 2

Sikhism is a part of Dharmic religions along with Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Christianity is part of Abrahamic religions along with Judaism, and Islam.

There are also difference on the concept of God, Sikhs view God as Formless, without any shape or form also Sikhism has monotheistic view that God is One unlike the idea of Trinity in Christianity where God is one yet in three different state.

Furthermore, Sikhism don't have Heaven and Hell as the way Christianity believe in Heaven and Hell nor does Sikhs have Judgment Day, no Satan or Evil. Sikhism believes in Karma-the law of cause and effect where each individual is responsible for his/her actions and the result obtained from it. Sikhism believe that person's ego is the principle cause of suffering as from this ego comes the sense of individuality and thus comes desires, anger, lust, attachment to material things.

Therefore, a Sikh should always try to win over his/her ego. Sikhs are not interested in heaven or hell but to end the cycle of death and rebirth- known as reincarnation unlike Christianity where the decision would be made on the Judgment day whether a person goes to heaven or hell.

Also Sikhism as a religion believes in multiple ways to salvation that is Sikhism in not the only way to attain salvation unlike Christianity where the view is that only through Jesus one can get salvation.

Hope this helps.

Thank You

Therefore, a Sikh should always try to win over his/her ego. Sikhs can experience heaven and hell right now and right here unlike Christianity where the decision would be made on the Judgment day.

Also Sikhism as a religion believes in multiple ways to salvation that is Sikhism in not the only way to attain salvation unlike Christianity where the view is that only through Jesus one can get salvation.
