Religions of the world for Android
I have taken world religion classes in the past and this app is a good refresher. While obviously high level, it is good for the majority to educate themselves on the fundamentals. Whoever critiqued this app for having atheism listed has a very narrow minded western definition of religion. 5 stars.
Atheism is not a religion, yet it's listed here. Also, portrays religious beliefs as true. "The Qur'an was 'revealed' to Muhammad"... "God 'spoke' to Joseph Smith"... "Christians 'recognize' Jesus as son of god"... Also, they go on a spiel about how great cross symbolism is. :- This app was obviously not designed by a Rationalist.
I think this is a good resource, but with a bit of bias against nonbelievers. Plenty of misinformation and misrepresentation that needs citation and references attached. Reads like a poorly written Wikipedia article.
I see other comments dismissing Atheism as a Religion. Granted it is not an organized belief system. But it think it does deserve mention here. It is a Personal world view. People do structure their lives & ethics by these views. So its important to discuss how it relates.
Tested accuracy by reading info on two religions I have researched myself instead of relying upon media and other stereotypes, biased info, prejudice, and biased folklore. Found app repeats wrong info, promotes negative stereotypes, presents no understanding of the religions. If you want inaccurate and incomplete information, this is the app for you.
For the record, atheism is ABSOLUTELY a religion. It is a system of belief (all religion truly is) that denies the existence of a creator and relies on science to define human existence.
I hope all the founders are listed too like white,taze ,smith etc otherwise pointless excersize
Misinformation on certain world views, most prevalent being that Atheism is not a religion.
Very useful, high level overview of world religions. I enjoy using this to help me understand other perspectives.
Good and contains enough information but doesn't work zooming. Better you have to work on adding zoom system.
This app should NOT include Atheism as a religion.
You have totally missed Scientology -- a fastest growing, most scientific and most workable religion.
The text should have been of a bigger size. Then it could have got 5 stars.
Very informative
Very good app...
GREAT!!
It doesn't have all of the religion's because there wasn't the religion of Sikhism
Nice app...it's better than other religion apps....but please add some more informations,myths, ancient pictures to it.....
In reading the sections on Islam and "Mormonism" it is clear that much of the information provided in this app has been heavily influenced by either mainstream Christian or Catholic authors. I'd rather use Wikipedia.
This is one of the most informative apps I have ever had the pleasure of downloading...there is almost no bias in the text, and it has almost every aspect of all the religions...but it misses the mark in a few places however (including atheism as a religion, missing a few subsets of religions)
I just need to know were im getting all this information from. i see lots of point of views.
Its a great app, would love it if it had a lil wider selection yet at the same time its a perfect starting point for people trying to be informed about different beliefs systems. I haven't verified the authenticity of the religions stated by referencing other sources but im pretty sure its not a lie or why else would the app be created if its expanding knowledge on different religions.
This app should NOT include Atheism as a religion.
I don't like this app.....there are thousands of religions but hear only a few...
It's so informative
Excellent.
Its excellent in giving information.
Loved it
Informative.
Catholic propaganda
Religions of the world
For a free, simple app, it's a superb overview of 20 religious views & has as comprehensive an introduction to each one as I could've asked. The choice of religions is a bit unusual - including "Atheism" as a religion & leaving out the largest Christian denomination, the Roman Catholic Church, are both really odd choices. But apparently they wanted to show us the less familiar. A minor complaint: font's quite small on my phone. Great gateway to further religious study, free & no ads. Thankyou so much!
Very informative yes we need to know more about the other listen peoples religion
I was deeply offened when I went under the christianity section and found that there was no description for the lutheran church. I am a practicing lutheran. I saw many other church bodies listed that are much smaller than the lutheran church. Some I had never even heard of.
Behind all wars religion is involved. Religion is deadly!
It a very cool app
Hope this app may good for me let me try it.
It's so great and educating.I love it so comparatively excellent
Church of Christ (Iglesia Ni Cristo) is not here.also bible Baptist Church
