The Hindus have 4 different sectors of different beliefs. We have Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, and Smartism. They each represent another supreme god their followers primarily worship the most. Vaishnavism worships the god Vishnu (God of preservation) as their supreme god, Shaivism mainly worships Shiva (God of Destruction and Regeneration), and Shaktism worships Goddess as Mother Shakti (Goddess of Creation). Smartism is the most balanced deity, treating all sectors as the same, worshipping all the gods.

Also known as Jews, they have three main branches as they are very split up across the world and don't have a place where Jews are the most dominant. The three types of Jews are Orthodox Jews, Conservative Jews, and Reform Jews. Orthodox are considered the most original Jews, Reform Jews which were reformed during 1820 in the US as an adaptation to modern society, and Conservative Jews which were formed in the division of Reform and Orthodox Jews.

Jews believe that by studying the Jewish Torah, they can connect with God. They could carry out this at home or in a yeshiva (School). The construction of the tabernacle (Tent) marked the beginning of communal worship that connected people with God. Jewish people now worship together in a synagogue (Church). Men and women sit separately, and men have a skull cap or kippah on their heads. Married women cover their heads with scarves as a sign of respect for God. Their God communicates to believers through prophets and rewards good deeds while also punishing evil.

The majority of Christians choose to communicate with God in a variety of ways. The most common strategy is going to church and getting connected through prayer. As a result, Christians may be able to gather and worship God. This enables individuals to strengthen their bond and possibly receive direction from God regarding the meaning of life and how they can deepen their spirituality. They hold the view that God listens to them constantly and is there with them while they talk. Another way could be devoting themselves as a Christian by completing the Water Baptism ritual. This involves dipping your body into water, symbolising our sins  being washed away.

- Infant baptism is the process of baptising infants right when they were born. Infant baptism for Orthodox Christians requires complete immersion. For other Christian types, however, put holy water on the forehead and oil to create the sign of the cross on the baby's head.

Some sing hymns or chant of their individual god's name continuously in celebration of his glory. They give him gifts like flowers and fruit, or they resolve to keep their vows and work hard to keep them. It is believed by the Hindus that the Lord provides for us and distributes the results of our deeds. He acts justly and impartially in doing this. Also, following the 5 main principles of being a Hindu, being:
- Worship God
- Study the scriptures
- Contemplate the wisdom of ancestors and elders
- Provide food for all beings in need
- Serve guests with respect and love.
These principles allow the Hindus to further connect with their respective god as they believe they will be rewarded through karma (Universal Law of Cause and Effect).

Shaivism:
- The path for Shaivism is divided into four progressive stages of belief and practice called charya, kriya, yoga and jnana.
- The soul will evolve through karma, reincarnation, temple worship, and internal worship through yoga. Union with the god Shiva can improve the soul's maturity in the state of Jnana (wisdom).
Vaishnavism:
- Most of the Vaishnavism think that through devetional discipline, they can communicate and receive grace from their gods through the sight of their icons.
- This also includes chanting the holy names which includes Vishnu Incarnations, mostly being Rama and Krishna.
Shaktism:
-Shaktism emphasises God's power and embraces opposites, like male-female, , pleasure-pain, cause-effect, things like that.
- The spritual practices are very similar to Shaivism, but there is another path for some people but not all are suitable.
Smartism:
- Smartism believes moksha (cycle of life and death) is achieved through mostly jnana yoga, which is intellectual and meditative.
- They can choose three paths of yoga to focus on, bhakti yoga, karma yoga, and raja yoga which Smartism claim can also lead to enlightenment.

The bible states that as Christians, we should live righteously and love each other, same how God loves us. This leads to more positive actions around the community as the world is made up of mostly christians. Also, Christians were told that God watches them everywhere, so they wouldn't do anything bad or negative, instead do things that are right. These actions may include small things like helping someone up or giving your seat up in a public bus, or maybe donating to charity. Christians will also tend to be more loving, humble, caring and sympathetic. The bible also states to "love your enemies" leading to a personality that is forgiving to others.

There are three key moral principles of Judaisms, the three being:
- Justice
- Healing the world
- Charity and Kindness to others
These moral principles can shape a person who grew up as a Jew, crafting the person's personality as being a empathetic and caring person, similar to a Christian. As they grew up with these principles being heavily highlighted, they will be very obliged to follow these rules.
Then, another importance was emphasised, being the importance of the sanctity (importance) of human life, the concept of saving lives. This strives them to maybe help people in need and take action for underprivileged people by donating to charities.

The Hindus will have a very respectful manner towards anyone, mostly stated in the last principle being treating guests with respect and love. Also, the Hindus believe in the laws of cause and effect, also known as karma, so they wouldn't do anything bad onto anyone as they will get punished by karma. Instead, they will do positive actions and get rewarded greatly.
