Home | About

Welcome to God 101…
… the website where we hope you’ll find useful information about every religion on earth! Whilst we don’t believe that all faiths lead to the same God, we are an organisation that strongly belive that everyone from all faiths should have at least a basic grasp of other religions for many reasons – not least so we are not ignorant of what’s going on around our own religious ‘bubble’. We are not here to promote a particular faith – more to educate and inform so people can make their own choice. God101.com offers non-biased, non threatening descriptions and views on different Gods, different world religions, how and where different religions started, what each faith is essentially about, and which culture(s) predominantly believe which faiths and teachings. Later you will be able to add your own take on a particular religion, add articles on God and religious studies – in fact anything you think that will help people understand different, religions, beliefs and cultures! For details of religion sizes, numbers of believers and other information on different world religions see the religion table at the bottom of this page.

Please note: This is an information resource and guide only. They are meant purely to help you find web sites and help pages and articles related to particular religions and belief systems and as a result we cannot take responsibility for incorrect content on any of the websites listed below as some of it inevitably will be. Read the religious study articles and websites to learn more about specific beliefs and make sure you read more than one source on any particular religion in order to gain the most accurate representation of that faith. Please let us know if you feel any of the sites we feature are way off the mark in describing a particular faith or religion and we’ll endeavour to find a better source – thanks:) 101God Team.
