World Religions

Just because we're secular homeschoolers doesn't mean we don't talk about religion. Our child asks questions about life and death, just like any child. And so when the topic came up last year, it seemed like a great time to talk about some of the different things people around the world believe.

We were able to get this book through interlibrary loan from the public library:


I liked that it covered a lot of religions and didn't just focus on Western religions. We read this over a few weeks, and found stories from different religions at the library to read along with it. It was interesting to learn about different origin stories, and how different religions view death. Conspicuously absent, however, were the Christian views on the afterlife.
