Virtual Voyager #4 - Religion

So far in our study of ancient civilizations we have encountered Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.  We have also experienced Confucianism and Daoism as well as the varied beliefs of Mesopotamia and Egypt.  Regardless of who you are, where you live, or when you live, there are family or cultural ideas that direct the thoughts, actions, and deeds of a society.

Your task is to research the religion or ideals practiced by the people in your assigned country.


1.  Start by finding your country on Geographical Distribution of Major World Religions (http://www.worldreligions.psu.edu/maps-introduction.htm).

2.  Please note your country might have more than one.  Please report on the religion with the largest following.  If you are not familiar with the religion, make sure you visit URI Kids (http://www.uri.org/kids/world_hind.htm) and read about your country's religion.

3.  Lastly, return to the blog and report your findings in one of our Write to Learn strategies such as Think Back, 3-Minute Pause, 3-2-1, Dice, or RAFT.

    My country, Poland, is Roman Catholic, or Christianity. They believe in God and Jesus. They celebrate Holy Communion, and Baptism, and so on. They are about 90% Roman Catholic, very little bit of Protestant, (0.3%), about 1.3% Eastern Orthodox, and the remaining eight percent is undetermined. Otherwise, they are Roman Catholic.

  5. Iran is Islam. They believe in one God and angels. They also believe in the holy books sent to all the prophets, and the Day of Judgment and life after death. They also believe in the divine decree which means that God is the all-powerful and nothing can happen without His permission. But he give people to choose whether you are good or bad. In the end everyone will be questioned on how they lived this life.

  9. India's religion:
    India's main religion is based on Aryan beliefs or Hinduism. This means that the Aryans believed in worshiping the priests or teachers, also known as a Brahmin. The Aryans formed groups that were lead by a rajah. For hundreds of years, the Aryan's either wrote down their stories or recited them. The Vedas is the holy book that holds these ancient stories. The Aryan culture began to spread east towards the Ganges River.

    3) Denmark's main religion is Protestant, or Christianity. Christianity is the religion of Christ (Jesus). He was known as a Messiah, or messenger sent by God when he first came.
    2) One of the big differences between Protestant and Catholic is that Protestant's don't have to do Confession and they say that anyone can have communion, but Catholic's say you have to be Catholic to have communion.
    1) Christianity isn't all about Jesus. It is also about the Holy Trinity (God, Jesus, Holy Spirit).They believe that Jesus died for us so that we can have eternal life in Heaven.

  66. switzerland celebrates Roman Catholic. Catholic meansFor the first thousand years of Christianity there was no "Roman Catholicism" as we know it today, simply because there was no Eastern Orthodoxy or Protestantism to distinguish it. There was only the "one, holy, catholic church" affirmed by the early creeds, which was the body of Christian believers all over the world, united by common traditions, beliefs, church structure and worship (catholic simply means "universal"). Thus, throughout the Middle Ages, if you were a Christian, you belonged to the Catholic Church. Any Christianity other than the Catholic Church was a heresy, not a denomination.
