Hinduism is one of the most popular religions in India, almost 60.5% of the Indian population consider them Hindu. Jainism is the 6th largest religion in India and is spread throughout all of India. Buddhism is a world religion, which arose in and around ancient Kingdom of Magadha (now in Bihar, India), and is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama.Islam is the second-most practiced religion in the Republic of India after Hinduism, encompassing 13.4% of the country's population (over 160 million according to the 2001 census). Christianity is India's third-largest religion, with approximately 24 million followers, constituting 2.3 per cent of India's population.Sikhism is India's fourth-largest religion and has existed for over 500 years, beginning with the birth of its founder Guru Nanak Dev.
In the Hinduism religion it includes a wide spectrum of laws and prescriptions of "daily morality" based onkarma, dharma, and societal norms. Instead of a normal religion that has a common set of beliefs this religion is very complicated. Not only is it complicated but it is EXTREMELY strict and its rules are very rigged. Hinduism is known as the oldest living religion today, and its roots go back to many distinct religions. Some of its traditions are sacrificing, Mehndi or Henna hands on religious days, and all of them having idols of gods in their homes. There are literally thousands of customs and traditions in Hinduism. They vary from region to region and caste to caste.
In the Buddhism religion it includes a variety of customs and traditions that mostly come from Siddhartha Gautama or as we know him, Buddha. Buddha began his teachings around 4 and 5 b.c. and the people translated it into a religion and started following his teachings. Some of the traditions is being only vegetarian, going to temples once everyday, and keep symbols of Buddha in homes and cars.
In the Jainism religion it includes no gods or goddesses but only believe in karma. They stick to one life way: Jainism, Right Belief, Right Knowledge, Right Conduct. Their traditions mostly deal with believing in the soul, mind, and spirit. Gods resemble lies to them as their teachings put it. Jainism means nonviolence towards living things, you cant argue, fight, kill animals, avoid people, or abandoned anything living.
In the Islam religion it includes the acception of only the profits of god and NOTHING else. They don't believe in the bible but only what god has said in the past centuries. They are called Muslims and plan to be Gods last profit when they die or when the world comes to an end.
Christianity is the same here as it is there.
