They might have believed but the people who retell their beliefs in a wrong way made you think that. The world does not end in at least a million centuries.
Because it was dominated by Quakers at the time whom believe in peace. This led the colony of Pennsylvania to be religiously tolerant because the Quakers would not war against other denominations and/or religions.
Most are Muslims but there are Christian Arabs and in Egypt there are Coptic Christians. I would imagine that like all other races all religions are represented but Islam (Muslims) and Christians are the main religions.
They wouldn't. They didn't accept other religions as far as Christianity / Catholic.
The Church did not have a teaching that the Earth was flat. There may have been a few people in the Church who believed that, but the prevailing view was that the Earth was spherical. The most respected source on astronomy in the Middle Ages was Ptolemy, and his Geometry contained arguments that the Earth was spherical and showed its size. Ptolemy did believe that the Earth was the center of the skies and the sun went around it; his argument was that if the sun was at the center, the Earth would have to spin at a thousand miles per hour, and the winds would knock everything down.
Shinto and Buddhism are the major religions in Japan. Most Japanese people do not define themselves as following only one or the other, but tend to incorporate elements of both in their spiritual life, so it would be very difficult to say which is the one major religion.
You become a Christian only if you take Baptism. Many people who believe in Christ belong to other religions as well.
I Would believe Judaism and I know Christianity
One would have to call it "ignorance" of Catholic Belief.
Not all religions have a concept of the devil as commonly understood in Christianity. Some religions have different beliefs regarding evil, such as the concept of karma in Hinduism or the idea of duality in Zoroastrianism.
well if there were no religions people would all believe different things but there wouldn't be a religion for that bielief.
No. It is simply not possible to believe two different things, and religions are different; otherwise they would be the same religion.
Although India's religion has been described as polytheistic, most Hindus believe in one main god. So it is like the monotheistic religions of the world. The emphasis on scripture study also makes it similar to Western religions. Holy men are believe to incarnate on earth to help people trapped in the material world so it is similar to religions with prophets and messiahs. The Hindu pantheon has some of the original Aryan gods who are similar to classical Western gods. For example Zeus would be Indra, Aphrodite would be Lakshmi, Athena would be Sarasvati, Eros would be Kama--there are probably more--
I don't think so. Jews and Hindus have very different religions. It would be difficult to believe in both religions.
Why wouldn't you want to learn about other religions? Learning about other religions is learning about how other people view the world around them. To think that your views about the world on your surrounding is the RIGHT way or the only True way is just ignorant. Just because your elders have taught you a certain truth as it pertains to them doesn't mean that is a truth to what others believe.
It would depend on if you believe in a god or not. IF not then there would be no importance to it at all. Other religions may or may not feel that you have to submit your mind to god.
Because he thought that maybe some people would not want to believe everything the same that other people so he created more!
It would depend on your religious beliefs. Many people do not hold with or believe in the bible. In addition many other religions have their own texts.
