Why Do People Have Different Religions?

Religion is a collection of beliefs that people have about some really big questions, like how did the world come to be and what happens after we die. Wendy Thomas Russell wrote a book called Relax, It's Just God, How and Why to Talk to Your Kids About Religion When You're Not Religious. There are something like 4,000 religions in existence today; most involve some element of faith. Some people love their religion because it feels comfortable, it feels like home.
