What religions are angels believed in?

Answer 1

Judaism, Christianity and Islam

All mainstream Christian religions believe in or teach of angles as intermediaries between God and human beings. The Christian scriptures show that God created angels to be instruments of His holiness or goodness. The Roman Catholic church along with the eastern rite Christian religions have angels ranked in a hierarchy of authority or duty. Very basically, angels are ranked as Archangels and angels but there may be other rankings as well dependant upon the teachings of any partiucular religion. Christians of the Roman rite also believe that every living person on earth has a guardian angel to protect them and keep them on "God's path".

Judaism and Islam believe in angels have a similar belief about their purpose in that they were created by God as messangers between Heaven and earth.

Other religions, including Buddhism and Hinduism believe in angles although they may not specifically refer to them as such. For example, Buddhists believe in angels as a form of energy or light or highly evolved beings who may visit people in dreams. Hindus may not specifically refer to angels but they do recognize them as "devas", meaning "shining ones". Hindus also believe that every living person has two guardian angels.

At this point it should be remembered that demons or devils are recognized by most Christian religions as having once been angels. The book of Revelations speaks of a war in Heaven, where the archangel Michael led his force of 'good angels' against Lucifer who was disgruntled at having to serve God and threw Lucifer and his cohorts out of Heaven down to earth where they crawled underground and became ugly by virtue of their ugly deeds. A reading Milton's "Paradise Lost" will show that Lucifer said "Better to rule in hell than serve in Heaven.

Judaism, Christianity, Islam and possibly Incan, Myan, and Hinduism. Also I think some of the Egyptian and some of the Mesopotamian faiths believed in winged supernatural beings.

Answer 2

Most religions believe in some sort of "spiritual entity", though they may not apply the label "angel". So, right off the bat, you have the big three: Judaism, Christianity, Islam. Most pagan religions believe in a hierarchy of spirits (which could be interpreted as angels) so you also have groups like the native americans, the druids, tribal religions of Africa and Australia, Vodun...

Answer 3

Christianity, Judaism, Islam, all of the Abrahamic religions believe in angels.

Those who believe in one god, and that Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, also believe in angels.

Answer 4

Most religions have some adherents who believe in angels. All the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) have them, so do the Zoroastrians; the Hindus and Buddhists call theirs "demigods," but they serve the function of angels, which is that of messengers (the word actually means "herald") of heaven's will.
