why are there so many different religions i know why the same reason that there are so many genres for music. the way to reach others with different tastes is to touch something that interests others and many religions circle around the belief in God. though they come to the same conclusion the there is but one greater power no matter the name. even if you dont believe in religion people base their beliefs and judgements on that alone.i am not a believer in religion i believe in God and the devil and i believe there should be a balance between good and evil one does not exist without the other.
