Background Information

In every country in the world there is some practice of spirituality, religion and faith in a deity or higher power. Often this deity is a God that the people worship and pray to while following the word of written text (i.e. Bible). Due to the expansion of the human civilization and the spread of these beliefs through the conquest of land, religions have spread out of their original territory of origin. Some of the most popular religions include Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The United States has many participants of all of these religions given the large immigrant populations that built this country, but it also has its own minor religions as well.
