  4. Bullet point 5 facts about Hinduism. Explain 2 important ways that Hinduism is different from other religions. **Which of these differences makes the most difference, do you think? What do you need to have a religion? There are many holy texts of Hinduism, but the Vedas are the holiest of all the books. Started sometime in the Indus river valley in India, but no one really knows exactly when (maybe 2000-1500BCE) • A founder (a particular person to start it off) • A holy book • A leader organising everything from the top eg a Pope • Followers who all agree to believe the same thing All Hindus do believe in some basic ideas, they also differ a lot about which gods they believe in and who God really is. The stories in the Holy books were told by God to many holy men over many years. They passed down the teachings they received, which eventually got written down. Although there are priest and religious teachers in Hinduism, there is no-one “at the top” like a Bishop or Pope, correcting false beliefs. No single person is responsible for starting the religion. The holy men simply passed on what they had learnt.
