    Characteristics of Native American religions and African religions that I have learned has strengthened my belief that most if not all religions have a common origin. The belief in a high or supreme being is a characteristic I believe helps my theory. Both Native American and African religions have a high or supreme God as a creator similar to the likes of Judaism and Islam, yet unlike Judaism and Islam they are not truly monotheistic. To them there is a creator but that God is not relatable and distant from them which is the opposite of Islam and Judaism. They all view it differently but the point is it is a common tread between them like the creation myth of the previous…

    All of it was similar to a richly-dressed Indian idol, and to crown the likeness to the idol and its fantastic appearance, from under the feet of this marvelous guest showered sparks of silver dust, by which it seemed to float on a light cloud, at the very least like the legendary Hermes” (Leskov 97). This vivid description concludes an extensive paragraph that thoroughly describes the return of the unbaptized native from his search for food. Yet, this description seems to be reserved for a person who is more spiritual than the unbaptized native. Indeed, up until this point, he has been simply the unnamed sled-driver of a bishop in a remote area of Siberia.…

    Taoism contrary to Confucianism, my Interpretation with Smart’s Seven Dimensions of Religion The comparisons between these two religions are analogous at best, similar in many aspects, yet, different in many facets of history, rituals, and even the creators of each religion. Even though, Confucianism does not believe in a God, per se, but rather, philosophical beliefs in the person themselves and what one makes of their life, through the unifying interactions of yin and yang. Taoism, also known as Daoism, does not have a fully recognized God, similar to Lao Tzu, who is revered by some, others, a majority, believes in the many differing Gods that serve a specific purpose, essentially, prayers are offered to specific deities based on circumstance.…

Each of the three religions are monotheistic, they each worship a single god, the same god so it seems.…
