  1. too many


  2. I'll start with the races.  That is the easier question.  Generally, and scientifically speaking there are 4 main races. They are the Mongoloid, Caucasoid, *******, and Native American.  These races (and they are the scientific names) and the mix of these races make up the majority of the population.  They were formed as groups of people lived in one geographic reagion for a very long period of time.  As their bodies adapted to the environment in which they lived, their bodies formed into the features we know as the races today.  

    Mongoloid come from people that lived in Mongolia and gradually spread out into Asia.  Negroids came out of Africa and spread eastward through India and into Australia.  Caucasoidal people came from areas north of the equator.  The furthur north you go, the whiter their skin bacame.  However, skin color like all other features were adapted to cope with their environments.

    Religion is a different matter.  Most places throughout the world had a nature based religion at one time or another.  These religions are often called Native Religions, however, religions such as Druidism and Wicca came from these traditions.  However, polytheistic (multi-god) religions seemed to start in Mesopotamia and the Orient.  It was in the Middle East that you first find evidence of monotheistic (single god) religions.  The monotheistic religions became dominant in Europe from about the time of Constantine and soon after.

    By the time America became a country, there were only a few Christian religions.  Gnostic, Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and some smaller groups like the Puritans and Quakers.  Since then it has been a virtual explosion in religion.  This is especially true of the Christian ones.  So, I will do my best to list as many as I can.  These are a bit mixed.

    African Methodist Episcopal, Baha'i, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Buddhist, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Christian Methodist episcopal, Christian Science, Churches of Christ, Communities of Christ, Eastern Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Episcopal, Hindu, Islamic (Muslim), Jewish, Lutheran, Mormon (Church of Latter-day Saints), Polish National Catholic Church, Presbyterian Church USA, Presbyterian Church of America (PCA), Protestant and Independent Christian Churches, Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Roman Catholic, Unitarian, United Church of Christ, United Methodist, United Pentecostal, Unity Church, Seventh-day Adventist, Mennonite, and many more.

  4. Only the one race. There are far too many religions to mention here, and I am led to believe there is only one God. I am not really convinced of the latter.

  5. There are many religions, with new groups that call themselves religions appearing almost daily. as far as I am concerned, there is only ONE race, and that is the HUMAN RACE!!!!!!
