Inquiring the Idea of Religions.
Presenting an Explorative & Informative overview of ‘many’ Religious_Ideologies (i.e. Cultural_Moral_Systems)! (& ‘Many’ is used to avoid generalized claim of ‘All_Religions are…xyz”).
Religions are relevant to the 21st century as we see high glocal (Global+Local) Interaction of 1. Religions (Spiritual Scriptural_Ideology driven Voiced_Cosystemic_Rules), 2. Nations (Constitutional Political_Ideology driven Spatial/Racial_Systems) & 3. Humans_clans (Bio-Social Ideology driven People_Agents).
Religions (of LawFramers-Intellectual Class) can not be understood in isolation it’s better understood with Triangulation-Survey method. I.e Working Principles, Power Structures+Dynamics & Peoples natures.
1. Religics_Systems (Binding-Principles_Philosophy) Purpose_SenseMaking like a constellation of idea-stars form a Triadic system with
2. Politics (Abiding-Powers) (RulesMaking or LawKeeping-RulingClass) and
3. Civic Societies (Providing-People) (LawBound-RuledMass). With Gods and Godmen as allys help towards Rewards & Risks/Rods are administered by RodMen (Protectors & Punishers)..
Article_Intent: Is Explorations of the “World of global religions, belief systems & faith based philosophies, ideologies & Ideosystems.
Article 25-29 of Indian_National_Constitution provides for religious-freedom to its citizens. Similarly which religions provide and how much is provided for others’ religious/political_tolerance in their religious-Constitutions (Scriptures) (by their respective PBUT Founders, Faithers’ or re_Framers)?.
The greatest of Indian_Religions that defines India is not Buddhism, Hinduism, Islamism or anyother-ism but it’s the “neo Indian_Constitutionalism” from 1950, and the greatest Indian Holy Scripture is the Indian_Constitution created & practiced by “We the people” of and from India.
Our Ideals as Indians: _Indian Firstly & Lastly #OnlyIndianFirst.. Indianism is a religion, The Indian Constitution is the holiest of all holy words of the worlds’ scriptures or books . The Ideal_Revered by Indianism is “INDIA the nation” or BharatMata or BharatBrata (Brother-India).. the Slogan is “Vande Mataram” that is Salutes to the “MotherLand India” or Jai Hind/Bharath, Hail India.
There are estimated currently to be 4300+ Religions in the world(Citation source is hyperlinked), I am skeptical of this number may be exaggerated, my guestimate for important ones is 5 per Continent/Century estimated is 300 top Religions (both living and dead). If more truer clear number is known please post in comments. Is it possible to see the general_commonalities of most religions & those few unique_differences that build the brand of the religions. Exclusive/Supremacistic_Religious_ideologies, individuals & groups are dual_moded they unite, provide and support the in_people (as neophytes, followers, apostles, practitioners or believers) and divide or avoid and target people as (outsiders, ex-religionists, unbelievers, apostates, kafirs, nasthic, anti-theists, Anti-Religious.. etc).
There is a drive by newer, larger & more organized ideologies for centralization, expansion and acquisition of people/power/money/status which may be leading to conflicts, exploitations, reductions and extinctions of other less-organized small decentralized vulnerable religions too.
This post tries to explore the expanse and world view of diverse world religions. This is to set context to false Religions-Blindedness and also identify the characteristics and appreciate the distinctions between religions or religious_ideologies, faiths, beliefs & values(Moral_Ethical) systems.
Most categorization is of Eastern and Western Religions based on the map of world eastern religions are those with origins in continents of Asia and Australia. Western & Mid-eastern religions are those that are of later from african, arabian, european and american continents.
If more deeper level among the top 12 as in chart below. The 3 In Top 12 the largest majority middle age-organized religions in world are the Abrahamic group Religions (Christianities, Islamics & Judaisms). While the 2nd religious group may be the irreligious (Secular, atheists, tribal, decentralized ..etc) and third 3rd populous yet global-minority group is the Indic_Group of religions (Origins and based from Indian subcontinent Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, & other sects like veerashaiva lingayat, pharsee, zen, tibetan etc). Yet other 4th Category is the ancient tribalistic minor miscellaneous group like African, Wicca, native american, mayan shamanism..etc.
