Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world (about 1 billion believers) and probably the most complex.

It is common among Hindus to practice singing (especially mantras), meditations and recitation of religious texts.

Usually the rituals involve offerings to the gods, worshiped in the form of images and meditations.

Buddhism is a religious, philosophical and spiritual doctrine and its precept is the reincarnation of the human being in order to bind us to the sufferings of the material world.

Buddhism represents an attitude towards the world, a behavioral technique. His followers learn to detach themselves from all that is transitory, which results in a kind of spiritual self-sufficiency.

Judaism is one of the three major monotheistic religions in the world. Belief considered as religion, philosophy and way of life is the oldest religious tradition in the world that preaches the existence of a single god. Despite being the religion of the oldest monotheism, it is the one with the fewest adherents. It currently has 14.2 million Jews worldwide, according to the annual report of the Jewish People's Policy Institute.

Christianity is the largest religion in the world, being prevalent in Europe, America and Oceania. The religion began through the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, considered the savior of humanity. Christianity is an Abrahamic religion, just as Islam and Judaism.

The followers of Jesus are called "Christians"; such a name was first used in Antioch, a Greek military colony
