Religious studies is an academic discipline that examines religious beliefs, practices, texts, and institutions across cultures and history using historical, sociological, anthropological, and philosophical methods. Scholars and students in this field analyze world religions such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, often comparatively, without necessarily advocating for any particular faith. It is taught at universities as a humanities discipline and can lead to careers in academia, chaplaincy, journalism, or interfaith work.
