Chapter 4

During Asia and across the world religions and their culture has been spread across the world and are even used till this day. Now in chapter 4 we are specifically looking at the whole asian continent as its religions and culture are the main focus. Two countries or nations are being talked about currently in the beginning of the chapter and it is China and India. China with Confucius and Buddhism changed the world in that region as it lead to many varieties of trying to find an answer through religion, Confucius, legal, common sense. This lead to many ideas about hierarchy, war, genders and other things due to religion. Now when it comes to another country is India as it is very religious and has many ideas especially when it comes to violence. In india the religions were split up and many had other religions like the Gods they believe in. India wasn't Buddhist as they believed in hinduism which has a founder and takes up most of what other religion has but with more gods. Now going away from Asia and into the middle east in Persia and their religion zoroastrianism which was similar to other religions as it involved angles, demons, being saved. Next is Judaism which is very popular as it still is today. However this religion is very different when it comes to jesus as they believe him to e god as well which isn't like other religions during that time. After Asia and the Middle East comes the greeks and their mythology which is very common. Now the second part of this chapter is not only the religions of different regions but how they spread across the world. The founders of the religions had no idea how far and quick they would spread across the world. Changing people and their beliefs while also causing a lot of trouble. Due having so many types of religions the people often clashed and caused many battles on top of this there were many types of religions. Since people took the basic idea of religions and changed them and that caused multiple sub groups of the same religion.
