Hinduism
Hinduism is estranged from other religions because it really has no definite and clarified origin. Its thought to be a collection of many religious beliefs put together into one. It is thought to be one of the oldest religions in the world with millions of followers all over the world. The followers of Hinduism believe in an immense unifying force that controls all existence. Also that individual gods and goddesses control this existence. Because there are so many gods for so many things in life, each Hindu may only select a group of gods to worship their whole life. Hindu worship gods in order to be looked after by the gods.
