Blog Post #53 -Five Major Religions Part 4 (Judaism)

     Today in class we started going over a packet called religions. We underlined some main points, and we also got the objective part of our exam back today. Since I have one more major religion to do I'm just going to put it in this blog. The fifth major religion is called Judaism. The number of adherents is 14-18 million people. This is the ninth largest religion. We call the Jews. The geographic location is in Israel (6.4 million, 75.4%) and in the United States (5.3-7 million, 1.7-2.6%). The founder of Judaism was Abraham. The holy book is the Torah, which is the first five books of the Old Testament. These are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Their beliefs are ethical monotheism. They believe God is one, and concerned with the actions of human kind. They have 13 principles of faith as well. That concludes all five of the major religions in the world.
