ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

World religions

Well hello there kiddo! Today, we are going to talk about something called "World Religions". You know how we all have our own beliefs and opinions about life and how we should live it? Well, think of it like that, but on a much larger scale.

World Religions are like big groups of people who all believe in the same things about life and why we are here. They have different books or texts they like to read and follow, they pray or meditate in different ways, and they might even have different ideas about what happens after we die.

Some of the big world religions are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and so many more. Each religion has its own set of rules and beliefs that they follow. For example, Christians believe in Jesus Christ and that he was the son of God, while Muslims believe in Muhammad and that Allah (the name they call God) communicated to him through the angel Gabriel.

Now, just because there are different religions, it doesn't mean they can't coexist together. In fact, some people like to learn about and practice different religions, and that's okay too! The most important thing is to respect each other's beliefs and be kind to one another.
