People around the world search for meaning and purpose in their lives in an endless number of ways. One of those ways is through religion. Religious practices can range from a single person worshiping at a small Buddhist shrine in her home to a gathering of thousands of Muslims in a mosque. They can also be as quiet as a group of Tibetan monks meditating in complete silence or as noisy as a group of teenagers celebrating their religion at a rock concert. World Religions 101 provides a fascinating examination of the concept of religion, how people around the world practice their religion, and how religion affects people's lives. Book jacket.
