The Dalai Lama is from Buddhism. *nods*

As for the main religions...

Well, I know of a few others, wouldn't say they'd be the bigger religions..but..

Taoism
Shintoism
Confusianism
Unitarianism
Native Spirituality
Sihquism(The male followers of this religion usually wear turbins and carry ceremonial daggers with them. Not sure of the proper spelling of their religion's name, though.. >.<)
Baha'i Faith
Rastafarianism
Wicca/Paganism
Judaism
Christianity(which can be further broken down into groups)


..I can't think of any others offhand, even though I'm positive that I missed some. sweatdrop

Scientology I don't like, but hey people are people, and the proper term is LDS or the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints for mormons. the Zoroastrianism I would like to know more about, that is the first time I have ever heard anything about that.

The religion itself is not the name of it's church... I personally know mormons and they refer to it as mormonism... So if you want to argue... That's not what I'm here for.

As for Zoroastrianism... It's something I read about in a book once... Zoroastrianism is a VERY old religion... It set the stage for the religions like Christianity and Judaism. It's legends tell of a man who's birth was predicted and that he was hunted and wanted dead. But as he grew he preached of a monotheistic belief system in the midst of polytheists... Sounding a bit familiar? The founder is a man named Zoroaster. If you want more info go to this website.

Zoroastrianism

I think you might enjoy reading about this religion... I don't know why... I just think you might...

As far as that goes, so does paganism. Wicca is only one modern form of paganism. Dianic traditions being another. Druids and shamans might fit in there though many of them might not like that....
