that are agnostic or atheistic in nature, rejecting the existence of any supernatural power. The religions

book, and its teachings and precepts govern their daily lives. The five pillars of Islam are faith, prayer,
charity, fasting, and pilgrimage, and followers observe these practices as central to their faith. The

religion that emerged in India. Hindus believe in a multitude of gods and goddesses, each representing a
different aspect of the divine. The religion emphasizes the concept of karma and reincarnation, in which
