World Religion Day
Every year, on the third Sunday in January, World Religion Day is celebrated. It was established by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is in America in 1950 to promote more understanding between all the different belief systems and religions.
There are over 4,000 recognized religions in the world including faith groups, tribes, cultures, and movements. The five major religions that are practiced by three-quarters of the global population are Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism.
About the Founders of World Religion Day
The focus of this day is to find the commonalities between all major faiths of the world. The religious community of the Baha'i, who created World Religion Day believe that all spirituality for all religions in the world comes from one single god.
With their belief that all humans are born equal with the same rights and duties, the Baha'i emphasize that members of all religions can respect and learn from each other through common spiritual goals. They want to use the power of religion to bring people together rather than separate them.
