Notes on religion

In Christianity god is good and the devil is bad. This is true of the
other Semetic religions. There is a separation of the sides of the coin
and all the positive is attributed to god. Christiantity also has the
idea of the Holy Trinity though I'm afraid I know little about that.

Hinduism is a monotheistic religion in philosophy. There is the one Ohm.
Everything else is a facet of the Ohm. The top 3 gods in the hierachy of
facets below represent creation, preservation and destruction. They are
all seen as part of the Ohm. Facets of the one. Good, middle and bad all
as one. In dogma it is polytheistic.
