Introduction to World Religions

We have moved into talking about religion, the second major building block of civilization we are discussing (the first was government or law). After discussing the religion of Ancient Egypt today, we will start talking about major modern world religions tomorrow and Thursday. The religions we are studying include Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam.
