Western religious traditions primarily include Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These faiths share a common heritage, tracing their roots back to the ancient Near East. They emphasize the belief in one God and have sacred texts, such as the Hebrew Bible for Judaism, the Bible for Christianity, and the Quran for Islam. Each tradition has its own practices, rituals, and ethical teachings. Judaism focuses on the covenant between God and the Jewish people, Christianity centers on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, while Islam follows the teachings of the prophet Muhammad. These religions have significantly influenced Western culture, law, and philosophy.
