Religions around the world have practices and beliefs that help people understand the meaning of life and give people answers to the important questions that they have about life, death and the existence of God. In this programme, students learn that despite their many differences, world religions have elements in common like systems of basic beliefs, holy writings, sacred places and special holidays and celebrations. As a result of the vast religious diversity in the world, students gain an appreciation for the need to respect people of all faiths.
