Religions in India
The Dharmic religions are believed to be originated in India, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism and so on. It is a matter of fact that Hinduism and Buddhism are the world's third and fourth largest religions respectively, with a collective 1.4 billion followers, despite being free of any evangelistic traditions. India is one of the most religiously diverse nations in the world, with one of the most deeply religious societies and cultures. It is reported that more than 80.4% of the total population are Hindus followed by Islam (13.4%). Similarly, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism are other religions practiced in India. Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Judaism are also influential but the population is small. Despite the strong role of religion in Indian life, atheism and agnostics have also visible influences.
