One definition of religion is "a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects", ususally considered as towards a diety but can be any club or even a bowling league, for that matter. many men are religious about their sports or their hunting.
The two major religions of the world ate Christianity and Islam. The Jewish religion, the Christian religion, and Islam have some fundamental similarities. All three worship the same God, all three recognize Abrahman and the father of their religion, and all three recognize the reality of a saviour.
The Jews and the Christian reognize Isaac as the true heir of Abraham whicle Islam recognizs Ismael. The Muslims and Christians believe Jesus was the son of God, a great prohet and ascend into heaven while alive. Muslims don't believe Jesus rose from the dead while Jews do not recognize Jesus at all.
The Jews and the Muslims beleive in a future saviour who will set up a kingdom when he arrives.
Christianity was founded by Jesus in 30 AD and has spread though the teaching and preaching of the gospel by the disciples of Christ. Islam was founded by Mohammed in 570 and was spread by the teaching and preaching of Mohammed as well as by armed conflict.
Chritians believe that salvation is through a belief in and a relationship with Jesus Christ. Muslims believe salvation is granted through their faith in God and through their efforts at being good.
