Comparative Religion is the academic study of the similarities and differences among various religious beliefs, practices, and institutions. It seeks to understand how different cultures interpret the concept of the divine, the nature of existence, and moral values. Scholars often analyze texts, rituals, and historical contexts to draw comparisons between religions such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. This field also explores the impact of religion on society, politics, and individual behavior. By examining how religions influence one another and evolve over time, researchers aim to foster greater understanding and tolerance among diverse faith communities.
