Religion is one of the essential characteristics of humanity from the
beginning of time. As time progressed, new or modified religions came
into existence. This happened for a variety of reasons including divine
interventions, human thought, experiences, superstitions, and other
factors. The world that we live in today has thousands of religions
practiced throughout it which have got many similarities and differences
with each other. Are there any classifications among these religions based
on common attributes? Is there one true religion of God, or are their
multiple true religions of God for our day and age? Does it really matter
which religion one follows as long as one follows it sincerely? Can various
religions be compared? What should be the correct approach for
conducting the comparative study of religions? These are some of the
questions that have been answered in this article. The article is
categorized in two sections. The first section deals with the classification
of religions and why the comparative studies in religion should be
considered. The second section explains the methodological aspects of
conducting such studies, as it is the lack of methodological correctness
which is one of the major factors that hinders the meaningful and valueadding
outcomes from the comparative studies in religion.
