Abstract
A brief review of many different religions practiced at this time with a focus on the different sects of Christianity. Paganism, Deism, Atheism, Judaism, and Islam are also covered in addition to the various Christian religions, but the sects of Christianity receive the greatest attention by far. The section on Paganism is particularly interesting as all religions not listed above are lumped into this category and many atrocities, such as human sacrifice, infanticide, spousal sacrifice, and cannibalism, are attributed to this group.
