In human geo today we were suppose to answer these questions :
out of the world, this is the percent of people that follow them.
Christian 31.4%, Muslim 23.2%, Hindu 15%, Buddhist 7.1%, and Jewish 0.2%. 

Abraham was given a huge position in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.In Judaism, Abraham is considered to be the founding father of the covenant. In Christianity, Abraham is more of a person to look up to, not worship. In Islam, Abraham was claimed by Muhammad. 

To get a priest to pray for you, you would have to give them money this would be called an "indulgence" Martin Luther probably objected to indulgences because if you are a priest you should want to pray for people who need prayers. My research led me to believe that indulgences are not a good thing and I do not support them. 
    

 The Hajj is an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. If you are healthy and have enough money to take a trip to Mecca as a Muslim adult you have to. Hajj is annual so it happens every year and is a big deal for Muslims. The date of Hajj is determined by the Islamic calendar. 
   

  The four basic Vedic texts in use by Hindus are the Rig-Veda,Yajur-Veda, Sama-Veda, and Atharva-Veda. The Rig-Veda is divided into ten books and has 1028 hymes. Yajur-Veda is divided into two sections. The Sama-Veda consists of songs and chants to be sung durring worship. The Artharva-Veda Contains hymns, mantras and incantations. 

I am glad that we did this today because it was cool learning about the different religions
