What is the definition of religion?  It is best defined as man’s attempt to achieve the highest possible good by adjusting his life to the strongest and best power in the universe.  This power is usually called God.    Religion can be compared to science which works to discover facts and use them.  Religion seeks to discover values and to attract people to them through worship and discipline.  The eleven major religions are:  Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Islam, Taoism, Shinto,  and Sikhism.  There are other religions such as Iran’s Bahai and other primitive religions throughout the world.  Sooner or later most people come to believe that their lives depend on forces more powerful than themselves.  As we all know we have no set religion throughout the world and religion helps man answer such basic questions as the meaning of his life and the unknown forces in the world around him.  Hate cannot and is not a commodity of any religion; and, if it is, then the devil (evil) has been instituted by man.
