Description

Why do some people fast while others feast? Why does one group gather at sunrise while another prays at sunset? Religion shapes how billions live, love, mourn and celebrate—yet most people only truly understand their own. This Exploring Comparative Religion course offers a fascinating look into the beliefs, rituals, and philosophies that have influenced human history and culture for centuries. From ancient myths to modern faiths, you’ll follow the major religions side by side to spot what connects them and what sets them apart.

Presented entirely online, this course is ideal for anyone with a curious mind and a willingness to explore how humanity finds meaning in the universe. Expect thoughtful comparisons of traditions like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and more, all with respectful insight and a pinch of wit to keep things human. Whether you’re studying for academic interest, personal growth, or a better understanding of the world around you, this is a chance to see religion not as a dividing line, but as a window into shared questions and timeless ideas. And yes—it's perfectly fine to bring your own tea.
