Early religious beliefs in ancient China were primarily centered around ancestor worship, animism, and the veneration of nature and spirits. Concepts such as the Mandate of Heaven and Confucianism later emerged but were not foundational in the earliest religious practices. Unlike some other ancient cultures, there was less emphasis on the afterlife in early Chinese religion. Therefore, beliefs focused on personal salvation or a structured afterlife were not significant in the early religious framework of ancient China.
Mainly polytheism, or the belief in many gods, but some groups of people mainly focused their religon on one god
Christianity differs from ancient Roman religion in several key ways. One major difference is that Christianity is monotheistic, believing in one God, while Roman religion was polytheistic, worshiping multiple gods and goddesses. Additionally, Christianity emphasizes the importance of faith, salvation, and forgiveness, while Roman religion focused more on rituals, sacrifices, and appeasing the gods. The concept of an afterlife and the idea of a personal relationship with God are also central to Christianity, whereas these were not prominent beliefs in ancient Roman religion.
You're right, religion was very important to ancient Egyptians. Their whole life was based and focused on what would happen in the Afterlife. It was very important that they make the journey to the Afterworld, and serve their mighty gods.
Quite the opposite. The Egyptians believed very strongly in an afterlife, and they wanted to make sure they prepared for it. They mummified dead bodies, because they believed the person's spirit (their "ka") would thus be preserved and able to enter the afterlife, at which time the person would be brought back to life and reside with the gods. In their tombs, Egyptians also preserved artifacts and objects they believed they would need in the afterlife, and the wealthiest Egyptians preserved items that would please or impress the gods.
Mystery cults were religious organizations in ancient Greece and Rome that offered secret rituals and teachings to select members. These cults focused on personal salvation and promising an afterlife in contrast to the state-sponsored religions of the time. Examples include the Eleusinian Mysteries and the Cult of Isis.
