Sikhism
One God

Sikhism was founded in India by Guru Nanak. It is a monotheistic religion that encourages its believers to practice it by living in the world and coping with life's everyday problems. Serving others is encouraged. Sikhs see the divinity reflected in all human beings and hence treat everyone equally. They avoid superstitious behavior, and pilgrimages, statues, buildings, and "blind" rituals.

Sikh Prayers

I shall not forsake my blessings at birth
a religion of love, in blood poetically wrote.
Equality its emblem, crowned by selfless sacrifice
a religion offering peace, justice to humanity.

A religion not elitist, nor condemning anyone
joining humankind as beloved children of God.
A religion stressing Truth (God), not blind following
spreading rays of happiness, not endless tyranny.
