Buddhism
Buddhism was created in 6th b.c. by a man named Siddhartha Guatama. Siddhartha Guatama had never seen sickness or old age before and when he first saw it he was so terrified that he ran away and started meditating looking for an answer about this. It took siddhartha 6 years of meditation to create the religion Buddhism. Buddhism was originated in Lumbini which is present day Nepal. Buddhism has spread through Asia before and is now in multiple countries including North America. The beliefs of Buddhism are reincarnation, karma, and dharma. The beliefs of Buddhism are the "four noble truths" which is existence is suffering(dukhka) suffering has a cause, namely craving and attachment(trishna) there is a cessation of suffering, which is nirvana, and there is a path to the cessation of suffering the "eightfold path" of right views, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. People of Buddhism are supposed to be cremated after death but some get buried.
Practicing the religion Buddhism can affect the daily life of a follower starting off with meditation at the beginning of the day. A follower of Buddhism eats a vegetarian diet so they can harm little amount of living things as possible. Followers try their hardest to make the right decision everyday so it doesn't affect them in a bad way but help affect them in a good way. Followers try not to be greedy and wish to have something someone else has because it is against their religion to desire something someone else has.

Practicing Hinduism can affect the daily lives of it's followers because they eat a vegetarian diet so they do not kill any animals or any living things. The caste system affects their lives everyday because it divides society into different groups and rankings based on how their parents worked when they were younger. Karma affects a Hindu's life because it is a belief that they follow to make sure they do not do something bad or something bad will happen to them in the future. We should respect every living soul as we believe everything is gods children.

Jewish people are affected by this religion everyday because the Ten Commandments are a set of laws out of the Old Testament that set a way of life for Jews. Jews go to the temple on Saturday on sabbath. Jews are kosher which affects them because they can't eat pork or shellfish, they cannot mix dairy products with meat. Also for kosher they have to have the animals slaughtered a certain way.

Islam
Muslims daily lives are affected crucially by their religion because they wake up at 5:30 in the morning to pray, but for some Muslim families they are less strict about that rule and pray when they wake up. After their 5:30 prayer they can go back to sleep. Muslims have to pray 5 times a day to follow their religion. Muslims are not allowed to eat pork when they eat because it is forbidden to be consumed by the Qur'an. Muslims must follow their code of conduct, the 5 pillars because it is a set of rules they have to follow to live their lives as a Muslim.
