Major world religions include Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism. We won't get into the less recognized religions here. These five major religions differ in one absolute way and that is the first three (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism) are monotheist religions. Believers of these religions believe in only one supreme being (i.e. God in all three of these cases). While the those three are monotheist the other two (Buddhism and Hinduism) are polytheist. They believe in many supreme beings (i.e. gods and goddesses). This is the most broad answer for this question. If you need more detail please post.

∙ 13y agoThe three major religions in the world are probably Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, with Buddhism as a possible contender for third position.
Christianity is unique in that it teaches that Jesus, although human, was the Son of the one true God. Most Christians believe in a Holy Trinity of three persons in one God: God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Islam teaches that Jesus was a great prophet but not the Son of the one true God. There is no Trinity.
Hinduism teaches of many true gods, but they are often considered to be avatars of the three central gods: Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. There is a Trinity consisiting of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, three gods in one god.
