As for Judaism

"Zoroastrianism was once a major religion which influenced Judaism and Christianity"

Yeah, Buddhism's out.
That page on hinduism was really useful, I've read a lot about it now and its really broardened my perspective and views. Thanks for the link man. A lot of things are starting to peice together now.

As for the Zoroastrianism, I'm going to have to read up on that. It seems as though it Judaism isnt a sect, but was just influenced by it. This could simply mean religious traditions and values, so I'm not sure if its relevant to me at the moment. But I'll find out.

Mhmm, so at the moment, the list is Judaism & Hinduism.. Is there any more people can think of? I'm also going to have to read up on Islam aswell, because that could possibly be part of this list..
