The five major world religions – John Bellaimey

The five major world religions – John Bellaimey

Explore the intertwined histories and cultures of the major religions: Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

It’s perfectly human to grapple with questions, like ‘Where do we come from?’ and ‘How do I live a life of meaning?’ These existential questions are central to the five major world religions — and that’s not all that connects these faiths. John Bellaimey explains the intertwined histories and cultures of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

    religion: way to respect and live peacefully.
    people: *peace was never an option*

  6. David Bacote on September 5, 2021 at 5:58 pm

    Why is Judaism on the list when it’s adherents are less than 2 tenths of 1% (actually .18%)?
    There are more Sikhs.

  7. 송윤재 on September 5, 2021 at 5:58 pm

    종교는 솔직히 있다해도 절반은 인간이 지어낸거 아닌가요?😂

  8. ßudha on September 5, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    Jesus not came to establish a religion! Remember that.

  9. Chilled kc on September 5, 2021 at 6:01 pm

    Brah like why would a god tell its people to serve them

  10. Bobby Aniedi on September 5, 2021 at 6:02 pm

    I wonder why people have to force others to leave their religion and come to theirs..

    That’s the major reason of conflicts today

  11. VK B on September 5, 2021 at 6:03 pm

    I have noticed an interesting thing, Abrahmic religions are centered around god & worship while religion of Indian subcontinent are centered around way of life rather than god.

  12. Chiasmata on September 5, 2021 at 6:04 pm

    Siddartha didn’t become the first Buddha.. There were many more Buddhas before Him..

  13. unknown user on September 5, 2021 at 6:04 pm

    It’s horrific when people fight to justify their respective stories. 😔

  14. The Number13 on September 5, 2021 at 6:05 pm

    Please research history where bhaudha was born
    Where he was born where he lived?
    Specific place palace name ?
    Please search for Truth
    It will be unfair to claim
    That the bhaudha origin was in India
    Think twice before you post about something
    You ever visited where he was born

  15. The Number13 on September 5, 2021 at 6:06 pm

    Favoritism

  18. Schuyler Shaun on September 5, 2021 at 6:08 pm

  19. G H on September 5, 2021 at 6:09 pm

    You’d quantify anything you idiots even your love for your wives and children.

  20. OminousImpression on September 5, 2021 at 6:11 pm

    OVER TWO MILLENNIA OF ENLIGHTENED MASTERS PROVE BUDDHA TO BE TRUE

  21. The Number13 on September 5, 2021 at 6:11 pm

    Please research well then only post
    It so unfair to claim that bhaudha was born in India how can you s
    Lie so proudly I like this channel untill this video

  22. Wyatt Scott on September 5, 2021 at 6:11 pm

    Some people say that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. But that is not true.

  23. Min Khant Win on September 5, 2021 at 6:15 pm

    I am a Buddhism.

  24. Аксофил on September 5, 2021 at 6:15 pm

    Christians celebrate Christmas in December.

    Orthodox Christians: "Am i a joke to you?"

  25. Montaser on September 5, 2021 at 6:17 pm

    Islam – which seems to be the only religion that is not named after a race of people, like Judaism and Hinduism, or after any single person like Buddhism or Christianity. ‘Islam’, the name given to the religion in the Qur’an is by God Himself, God, in Islam, is not only the Lord of the Arabs or the Muslims but the Lord of all human beings and all the worlds, who states in the Qur’an, ‘We have honoured the Children of Adam’ (17:70) – all the Children of Adam are ‘chosen’ by God to be honoured.

  26. Orange Soda on September 5, 2021 at 6:18 pm

    religions are pure and edifying the world yet it’s the humans who corrupt cruel ideals to them.

  27. Danish Rasheed on September 5, 2021 at 6:19 pm

    Buddhism is not a religion , its a philosophy. I’d like to tell you , Buddha was an agnostic.

  28. Imam Shad on September 5, 2021 at 6:22 pm

    I wish religion was never an option

  29. Michael Ferto on September 5, 2021 at 6:23 pm

    ……A nice overview. I read different numbers of adherents to these religions……However, your numbers are interesting…….

  30. kigozi phillip on September 5, 2021 at 6:24 pm

    Religion the best lie ever told

  31. The Number13 on September 5, 2021 at 6:28 pm

    Bhaudha was born in Nepal not in India
    He was searching for peace
    Leaving the palace

  32. Anush Gudimetla on September 5, 2021 at 6:32 pm

    In Hinduism, atheism isn’t considered a sin or problem.
    And the original name of Hinduism was Sanatan Dharma, and existed before Krishna

  33. dammed water on September 5, 2021 at 6:35 pm

    21st century means common sense applied. god exists or not these practises r outdated. id like to c an actual modern religion but until then drinking wine as the body of christ is nonesense. get real

  34. Anush Gudimetla on September 5, 2021 at 6:36 pm

    Hinduism was not started by Krishna. Hinduism existed long before Krishna.

  35. Alexandros Georgios Fefekos on September 5, 2021 at 6:36 pm

    Nice depiction of Israel. You just missed Palestine there

  36. Sadia Hossain Zinia on September 5, 2021 at 6:38 pm

    No matter what Islam is the most beautiful, decent, logical and successful religion , Religion of peace, Islam teaches us to respect others religion too! Proud to be a Muslim… May Allah peace upon us..

  37. heena kudu on September 5, 2021 at 6:40 pm

    Hinduism never started.i was already there.it did not strated by lord krishna.he was a god in a human form.hinduism is an truth of this world.

  38. Hazem Darwish on September 5, 2021 at 6:42 pm

    I’m no Muslim but you didn’t do Islam fair!

    the msg of Muhammad which you haven’t mentioned was: "I only came to complete the good morals/manners"

    by that he acknowledges the two past msgs of Moses and Jesus and saying he is only there to complete the msg, by setting the final lines and points.

    and assuring that he is the last prophet of all 25 that starts with Adam and ends with Jesus->Mohammed

    Islam is very much identical to the other two, only more clear, with sets about how to pray, behave and etc…

    I only said you missed that, cuz you only explained Islam, but not said the msg of it like you did with all others!

  39. Sui Xi • on September 5, 2021 at 6:43 pm

    amazing how Judaism , Christianity , Islam seems look familiar 😲

  40. Farzan Amin on September 5, 2021 at 6:44 pm

    The narrator is wrong in Some way ISLAM began way before the Earth was created with the creation of adam Alas Salam ..

  41. Ultra Luffy youtube on September 5, 2021 at 6:46 pm

    Anyone got answers for the sheet

  42. VacoTheDunce on September 5, 2021 at 6:47 pm

    We should all thank Christians, there is Christmas because of them xD

  43. Simran Singh on September 5, 2021 at 6:47 pm

    Sikhism is the fifth largest religion.

  44. rug on September 5, 2021 at 6:47 pm

    Honstly the only reason i doubt there is a god while not being an atheist is because why would god not have the ability to tell each one of his creations that there is no need to doubt

  45. Imam Shad on September 5, 2021 at 6:48 pm

    I wish peace was a religion option and everyone could choose their religion after being 18, not given by their parents.

  46. NTM _JAN on September 5, 2021 at 6:48 pm

    Islam❤️❤️

  47. Prince Kumar on September 5, 2021 at 6:52 pm
