Religion
Sikhism
The Sikh tradition is based on the monotheistic teachings of Guru Nanak Dev, an inspired fifteenth century north India preacher. Nanak taught that the worship of one God (Akal Purakh) should be free of hypocrisy and ritualism.
Islam
Islam’s essential creed is summarised in the shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith. This states that ‘there is no god but Allah (God) and Muhammad is the Messenger of God’.
Hinduism
Hindu traditions comprise a very wide variety of religious beliefs and practices associated with the people of India and their descendents. Even more so than other ‘faiths’, it is difficult to speak of ‘Hinduism’ for there is no one founder or hierarchy, creed or code.
Christianity
Jesus - his life, teachings, death and resurrection as described in the four gospels of the New Testament - is the focal point for the majority of Christians. Christianity is a monotheistic religion. (monotheism= belief in one God).
Judaism
The Jewish faith is based upon the belief in one ‘G-d’, the Creator of the universe, whose divine purpose was revealed in the Torah.
Buddhism
Buddhism in Yorkshire and the Humber, as elsewhere in Britain, is characterised by its diversity. More than 7,000 Buddhists live here, particularly in the urban centres, with many other people practising Buddhist meditation or expressing sympathy with some Buddhist teachings.
