DIFFERENT RELIGIONS

World, Life and Believes

What do people believe in? Religion is known as a “philosophy based on faith.” Religions nowadays play a very important role in everyone daily life. It is inevitable to go around the streets without knowing how religions work, why people do the things they do or even why they behave the way they do.
