Okay kiddo, so do you know what religion is? It's when people believe in a higher power, like God or Allah, and they practice certain rituals and customs to show their faith.
Now, imagine there are lots of different religions all around the world, with different beliefs, customs and practices. So, how do we keep track of all this information? That's where the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA) comes in!
The ARDA is like a big library or database that collects information about all kinds of religions around the world. They have information about how many people practice a certain religion, where these people are located, what their beliefs are, and what kind of practices they follow.
So, whenever you want to learn about a certain religion, you can go to the ARDA and find out all the information you need! It's like a big book filled with information on religion around the world.
The ARDA is really helpful because it helps us learn and understand more about different religions and the people who practice them. It's important to learn and understand about different religions, so we can all get along and respect each other's beliefs.
