Scholars say that all religions share a common inheritance from ancient forms of animism and shamanism. Often developing in isolation, these origins have resulted in some close similarities between religions, even in quite different regions of the world. The shaman became the priest in more advanced religions. Eventually, the sun god, moon god or weather god became regarded as the supreme god and in some cases as the only God in the world. Hope gives rise to belief in some form of afterlife. In order to justify their worship, gods must be able to reward and punish the faithful, either in this life or the next.
The most widely recognised division between religions is in whether they are generally polytheistic or monotheistic, although some religions are not entirely monotheistic or polytheistic.
