Currently, 80% of the country is Hindu. Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world. Unlike other religions, Hinduism has no founder, no single religious text, and no set of teachings that can be commonly agreed on. There is a belief to be a Supreme God, who comes in the form of many different deities. Hindus also believe that life is a continuous cycle of birth, death, and rebirth overseen by Karma.
