All of the world's major religions have their origins in Asia; there are numerous local faiths such as African forms of Animism or historical faiths such as Norse Mythology that have origins outside of Asia, but these are either very local or non-practiced today. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, and Baha'i all come from the Middle East. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism all come from the Indian Subcontinent. Confucianism, Shenism, Shintoism, and Daoism all come from East Asia.
