2) About how many people worldwide practice this religion?
3) In what areas of the world are most of the members living?
4) Who do believers of this religion worship?
5) What is their view of God? How is he portrayed? Is He good? Is He relational?
6) How do they believe they are saved?
7) What does salvation look like to them? How does their afterlife/heaven look?
8) Is there a sacred text? AND, whose teachings do they follow?
9) What does their worship look like?

11) Any interesting facts you would like to share?
12) In what ways is it similar to Christianity? In what ways is it different from Christianity? Be sure to mention BOTH similarities and differences. Be sure to deal with beliefs and practices. A good way to show the contrasts would be by making a chart.
