Content

Already young children pose difficult questions, such as: Where were we, before we were born? What happens after we die? All religions try to give answers to such existential questions.
Every people have their own history, language(s) and religion. This book explains about five of the world's main religions, their services, temples, scriptures and festivities: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
The book's target is to give a neutral and tolerant depiction of these five main religions and ways of believing, avoiding any form of valuation or judgement.
