There are twelve major world religions in the world today. The six most well-known are Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism.

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.
