There are twelve major world religions in the world today. The six most well-known are Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism. The Oxford Dictionary defines religion as the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. Each religion contains a set of beliefs relating to the cause, nature and purpose of the Universe when considered as the creation of a superhuman deity or deities. Religions usually use rituals to honor and worship their superhuman deity or deities.
