Correct, it was an entirely altruistic act. SMH

Not altruistic, rather other factors besides money ultimately guided their decision. That seems to be hard for some here to fathom.

What do you consider the three major religions to be?

If 'major' is in terms of current population then going by Wikipedia, the top four would be:

1. Christian - 31.7%
2. Islam - 25%
3. Hinduism - 14.7%
4. Buddhism - 6.6%

Athiest/agnostic/non-secular/unaffiliated, if considered, would squeak into third place at 15.2%.

Sikhs and Jews follow.

Over 83% practice some religion.

Of the total population, no religion represents more than one third, leaving a super majority to the rest.

Zoroastrianism

Gotta love Zoroastrianism. It provided Nietzsche the name Zarathustra.

Abrahamic, Buddhism and Hinduism would be my guess with Zoroastrianism being a root.

Of course, we can break down the Abrahamic tradition into three components. Judaism, Christianity and Islamic, with Judaism being the basis for the other two.

Thanks for warning me. Guess I DO need a laugh track sometimes.

gave you a like for the use of 83%

Let's not debate. I don't think less of you because of your faith. It's all good.

I'm not wanting to debate either. What do you consider the three major religions to be?

Should have said monotheistic religious traditions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam.

Thank you. You may want to check your dates on the wheelbarrow thingee. Islam started in the 7th century A.D., and, if I'm not mistaken, the wheelbarrow was early 3rd century.

I thought it was the basis of The Legend of Zorro.

Nah, you're talking a mestizo hero in southern California before it was part of the southwestern US. I'm talking an ancient southwestern Iranian high priest, who was sort of a combo of Martin Luther and Joseph Smith.
