Answer 1

The correct answer is: Buddhism

Step-by-step explanation:

Siddharta Gautama, known as "The Buddha" was a monk, teacher and philosopher on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. He is believed to have attained Enlightment, thus he is not considered a god, rather an extraordinary man. Buddha's teachings became the foundation for what would later become known as "Buddhism". This tradition has around 470 million followers and its origins go back to 2,500 years ago in India.
