"In What Do You Place Your Hope and Trust?"

"The Religion Facts A-Z Religion Index is a quick index to our articles and sections on major world religions, from ancient faiths to new religious movements. It is not comprehensive, of course, and grows regularly. This list is larger than the one on the main page, as it includes sects and denominations (like Baptist or Zen) along with major religions (like Christianity or Buddhism). ReligionFacts is very inclusive with what is regarded as a "religion" for purposes of this index and this website. Some of these belief systems may not be "religions" according to traditional definitions (they might better be called "philosophies" or [movements]), and some are even anti-religion. The grounds for a group's inclusion is simply that it offers an explanation of ultimate reality or the purpose of life. See our Big Religion Chart* to compare the basics of over 40 faiths."

The Coptic church, if I ever decide to quit Christianity, this is the church for me. Smoke pot all day...after all, isn't it natures way of saying "Hi"?

Would "Jehovah and his son Jesus" be covered within Jehovah's Witnesses
and Christianity (both of which are included in the comprehensive listing)?

My hope and trust are not with a religion, but the person of Jesus Christ, or more accurately, Christ Jesus, and Him alone.

Many if not most of all other belief systems the world has ever known are also represented by a person. The following lists name dozens of persons followers have lived (and even died) for because their hope and trust was so firmly placed.

Any significant differences?

Yes, only Christ is alive. I no longer serve the dead Jesus, but the risen Christ.
2 Cor 5:16-17

16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Are you claiming that Pantheism is synonymous with atheism, or that people somehow put their faith in atheism (despite it having no content)?
