First IÅåll talk about Judaism: Founded by Abraham, the believers of this monotheistic religion are divided into three factions: the Hassidic, the Reformed and the Conservative Jews. The Hassidic Jews are the most traditional group, following strictly all rules of their all-mighty God. The reformed Jews are the most adapted to a modern societyÅås lifestyle and the least traditional. The conservative Jews are a medium between the two, and do not really follow one extreme or the other. Their rationale for their existence is that they believe that they are GodÅås chosen people, and have a covenant with God. This covenant is that they will follow Gods will, while he protects them from harm. Their major set of rules is called the Ten Commandments, which are believed to have been given to them by Moses who was told what they should be by God. Their major scripture is called the Torah

in which all the rules are named. Their idea of a reward for good conduct and always following Gods will is called the messianic age. There everything will be like a paradise on earth, and they will finally get their rightful place in the world: as Gods chosen people. However if they do not follow the covenant, they believe that collective punishments of all the believers will take place.

One of the most successful religions in the eastern world- Islam: Founded by Mohammed this religion is monotheistic as well, and is divided into three factions, the Sunni, Shiites, and the Sufi Muslims. The Shiites are very traditional and believe that only a rightful descendant of the prophet as caliph. The Sunni, however, support the Umayyads, a wealthy family that claimed the rule after one of the many caliphs died. The Sufi are mostly ascetic and believe in purity of the soul, and believe that they should not have any material possessions. Their rationale is also a covenant. The covenant is also made up of a set of rules to follow, and a reward if they are followed truthful
