The 5 Major World Religions
Christianity


Christianity originated in the 1st century AD, founded on the life and teachings of a Palestinian Jew who lived from 4BC to 29AD, Jesus Christ.


Christianity originated in Palestine but later reached to most of the world.
The major figure of Christianity is Jesus who gave his life in what is believed to be an act of atonement. By this, it is meant that Jesus dying on the cross made it possible to overcome the separation of God caused by sin and death for those who believed in him. The symbol of Christianity is a cross, which is what Jesus was crusafied on.
The Holy Book is The Bible which is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament incorporates the Hebrew Bible while the New Testament expresses the life of Jesus, beliefs, and the writings of the early church.
christians generally practice their religion by attending services at their church and living their lives as the church says. At these services, among other things, Christians praise their lord and discuss Jesus. Also, Christians are to confess their sins to their priest.
