Even when early Christians were hunted, persecuted, and fed to lions, most did not give up their belief in Jesus. Instead, they continued on believing in Christ knowing that if they were caught He awaited them. A second benefit of religion is that it can be a moral guideline to raise the next generation. Religion acts like guideposts so we can judge how well we have lived our lives.

Unfortunately, like all things in life, religion has its other half. This half is dark and can potentially destroy a person or a whole group. One example

The Mormons believe that there are many gods, which is a direct contradiction to Christianity. Mormon doctrine also teaches that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three different gods. Mormon doctrine also teaches that Mormonism is the only true way. An example of Mormonism is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This group considers themselves a Christian denomination but their beliefs contradict the bible, which is the cornerstone of Christianity (Long, 1994). It's hard to tell exactly how many Mormons there are because they are filed under Christianity but there are about 10 million members in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The center of the church is in Utah but the religion is spread worldwide with at least once church in 160 countries.

Hinduism claims over 793,076,000 people, which is 13.7% of the world's population. Most of the Hindus are concentrated mainly in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
