∙ 11y agoThere is no way to give a comprehensive answer because there are thousands of religions in the world, however, a basic answer is, the difference between religions is, who the central figure of worship is, and the basic tenants of what they believe. Very, very, very basic: (most) Christians believe Jesus was the Son of God and the only way to get to Heaven is to believe in Him. Buddhists believe Buddah was a prophet, and good karma gets you into Heaven. In other words, being a good person gets you in.

Some religions are animist: In those religions, spirits inhabit things, animals, rocks, trees and ponds. Many indigenous religions are like this. Some religions are polytheist, they have multiple gods living in a spirit world that mirrors our Human world and sometimes intersects it at sacred locations. Ancient Greek, Roman and Norse religion were like this, and modern Hinduism is like this. Some religions are dualist, with two warring spirits, one good, one evil. Zoroastrianism was like this, as is that brand of Christianity that makes God and the Devil equals in a fight for the souls of mankind. Some religions are monotheist, holding that there is just one God. Judaism is the classical example of this, and Islam and Christianity can also be counted when they do not elevate Satan to be an anti-God, although Christian trinitarianism weakens monothesim. Some religions are not really about God. Bhuddism, Confucianism are prime examples where there are religious teachings and practices, but where there is no real concept of a God who has any attributes of personhood.
