Major Religion in Our World Today Comparison with Ancient Egypt
Four Major Religions Today
One of the major religions in the world today is Hinduism. Hindus believe that if they suffer pain and hardship in their life it is because of something they did in the life before, the have multiple gods that represent objects in their lives such as rivers, sea's and animals. Another major religion of today is Buddhism. Buddhists believe that there are no gods and you a continuously being reborn. this is the explanation for a person if they are having continued suffering or hardship in their lives. For example if a person was struggling for money, Buddhists would believe that this was because they were being reborn and were having to start all over again with their bank. Muslims like the Christian Faith believe that there is one almighty God to worship. They believe that their god Allah is the god of everything and he will watch over anything that they do. He was the creator of the universe. Everything bad or good that happens to them will be Allah's will. The final major religion in the world today is the christian faith. Christians believe in a God who they can know personally in this life today. With Jesus Christ, the person's focus is not on religious rituals or performing good works, but on enjoying a relationship with God and growing to know him better.
Egyptian Gods
Egyptian's had one main god "Pharaoh" but over 1500 other gods to worship that represented the un-explained things in their lives. Each God had a specific purpose and each god was asked if they could assist in problems Egyptians did not understand. Their gods were present in almost all of the activities in ancient Egypt. They could be addressed by going to a temple or in later Egyptian religion be prayed to. Egyptians believed that after-life was a blessing from the god Osiris and he chose your path from there.
As you can see while all the religions are very different you can see that there are some links between each religion and its beliefs. For example you can see each religion had gods but some of them were of higher importance than others.
