    Reliable Religion Websites

    Not all religion websites are objective in their perspectives. For this class be careful what sites you look up. Also, be aware of biased websites. Example: if you are looking up Hinduism understand that a website that is about Christian beliefs may not be appropriate for finding unbiased information on Hinduism. I’ll be checking websites on your World View Charts so use good ones!

    Here are some of the more reliable websites:
