Religion, or at least
religious inquiry, is something that nearly all humans share in common. In all
corners of the world and in all eras of history, people have wondered about the
meaning of life, how to make the best of it, what happens afterwards, and if
there is anyone or anything "out there."
The
goal of this website is to provide free, reliable information — "just the
facts" — on the various answers that have been given to these questions,
as well as the rituals and customs that go along with them. This very broad
goal means that we cover a wide variety of religions, belief systems, and world
views—the grounds for a group's inclusion are only that it offers an
explanation of ultimate reality or the purpose of life and has (or had) a
significant number of followers.
ReligionFacts
is an objective guide and does not promote any one religion or belief system
nor even a particular view of religion. Our only "value statements"
are these: (1) religion is interesting; (2) knowledge is good. These two
opinions led to the creation of ReligionFacts in 2004. Other than that, we aim
to keep our opinions to ourselves and give you the facts in the most unbiased
and objective manner possible.
