| | Talk:List of religions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A religion need not be a thousand years old to be recognized as a 'religion'. | | | The definition of the LHP is "religions, which aim to become a entity seperated from the universe, ie a god" --> egoism, RHP is "religions which try to become one with a goo or sth similar (nirvana)" --> altruism. | | | But all religions have differences, and my personal understanding of this List of Religions page is not seperate the religions into very small categories, but to put a religion into some general grouping. |
