Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are what one might call sibling religions. Christianity is the largest of the three, with between 1.7 and two billion professors in the world. Muslims are just over one billion, and the Jews are about 18 million. However, they have common roots, meaning there are remarkable similarities between the three religions and essential differences. Let’s check […]
Muslims, Christians, and Jews worship the same God. But they all believe that their religion is the complete and final revelation of the same God. Therein lies the source of their unity. It is also the source of their disagreement. Belief in the truth of one religion and the falsehood of others inevitably leads to conflict between believers and non-believers, […]

I don’t know what brings you here – whether you’ve started doubting your belief or whether your interest in this topic stems from your discipline as an atheist. Whatever the reason that brings you here, in my experience, I think something like 80 % of people, including Christians, have at some point wonder about this great question. Even though I […]
