Standard toughened glass is class 0

Yes, stained glass windows have a particular religious significance.
"Yes! Anglian Windows offers custom-made stained glass window designs. They also offer other types of decorative windows, such as those made of etched glass."

Laminated glass, used mainly for windshields and tempered glass for the rear and side windows.
Tempered, also called safety glass.
Tempered glass can be laminated, but laminated glass cannot be tempered.
Most if not all new vehicles have two types of glass installed. Laminated, and Tempered. Your windshield is a laminated piece of glass which means you have two layers of glass and vinyl in between them, this allows almost no penetration thru the glass. Tempered glass are the side and back windows. If you were hit on the side of the vehicle would you want this shards of glass flying thru the car like some old house windows?, Tempered windows when shattered break into small pebble like pieces of glass thus making it safer for the occupants.
Herculite tempered glass is a type of tempered glass that has been processed to increase its strength and safety. Herculite tempered safety glass is a specific brand of tempered safety glass known for its durability and resistance to impact. The main difference is that Herculite tempered safety glass is a branded version of tempered safety glass, possibly with additional features or specifications.
Laminated glass and tempered glass are not necessarily the same thing. Tempered glass cannot be drilled, but untempered laminated glass could (probably) be drilled. Holes in tempered glass are drilled before tempering.
Tempered glass panels can be purchased from home improvement stores, glass vendors, or online retailers. They are commonly used for projects such as shower enclosures, table tops, and windows. Make sure to provide accurate measurements when ordering to ensure a proper fit.
Tempered Glass. The panes are very thick (2 to 3 inches) to assure no breakage.
It does not 'break', but rather it shatters. Automobile glass is designed (tempered) to 'shatter' into small cubic pieces so that it is less dangerous in case of an accident.
Tempering is the process to add properties to the raw glass and to make it Standard or Toughened. If tempered (Heated) and cooled slowly, it becomes standard glass on the other hand if tempered and cooled rapidly, it gains different properties and becomes tough or is called toughened glass. Check the link below.
You can not cut tempered glass because once a piece is broken the whole glass shatters. Tempered glass is safer because it breaks into tiny pieces rather than sharp edges like regular glass. The only way to tell if a glass is tempered is to break the glass or use a polarizer to detect stress waves. You will see stress waves in tempered glass verses regular glass. Hope this helps.
