Religion has always been important in Asia was always part of the essence of this and was strongly linked to the relationship with other countries, whether good or bad way, trade and economy.
Most of all religions practiced today, were born in Asia, the continent’s most religious and spiritual wealth of the planet. There emerged the major religions practiced around the world as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism.
However, the most practiced religion in Asia is Buddhism, a religion which they follow a guide, the Buddha, a young monk who left his life aside for meditation so you can get to his enlightenment, in search of truth to help the least had.
In the Middle East and Central Asia, Islam becomes important, accompanied by Hinduism, religion that predominates in India and Nepal, with over 750 million adherents, based on Vedas, sacred texts in which she teaches to make hymns and rituals to mark their gods Shiva, Vishnu and Devi.
Christianity the largest religion with followers on the planet, is one of the least practiced in Asia, occurs only in the Philippines and parts of South Korea. It is followed closely in number of practitioners in Asia for Judaism, remarkable in Israel, the only country where this religion is predominant.
If there is one aspect should not be overlooked when it comes to religion, is that the vast majority, all born in Asia and through different ways or purposes spread to other countries. Then you could consider the eastern continent, the cradle of religions.
