World Religions Websites

Out of the multitude of Internet sites devoted to the subject of world religions, I have chosen a small sample of just seven that may be a good introduction to the topic. Here goes.

#1. There is a half-serious but somewhat enlightening short quiz called the "Belief-O-Matic" at the following site:
