Several religions. Christianity, Islam, and the Bahá'í Faith, all accept The Bible (including the New Testament) as Holy Scripture; many other religions don't, including, as far as I know, Judaism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, and others.

It is uncertain whether Mahatma Gandhi even knew much about the New Testament, although he is reported to have found the Sermon on the Mount as reminding him of his own Gita. He was a follower of the Jain religion, so no doubt he would have found many of the lessons in the New Testament very familiar, as parallels to the great moral truths taught in his own religion.


What are the disadvantages of only reading the Old Testament?

This question can be understood in terms of reading only the Old Testament but not the New Testament, or in terms of reading only the Old Testament but nothing else that could contradict or challenge the stories and traditions portrayed in the Old Testament. For a Jew, there is no particular disadvantage in reading the Old Testament but not the New Testament, as the New Testament is not relevant to his religion. For a Christian, the disadvantage is that the books most important to his faith are in the New Testament. Anyone reading only the Old Testament and not what is now known about the history of the times and biblical scholarship on the Old Testament, the disadvantage is that the reader must take everything literally and can not have an informed view as to how literally the Old Testament should be read.
