Judaism
Judaism is a monotheistic religion with different sects which believes that:
- The world was created by a single, all-knowing divinity (YHWH).
- All things within that world were designed to have meaning and purpose as part of a divine order.
- The Torah, or commandments, which regulate how humans are to live their lives, is a gift from God so that individuals might live in accordance with God's will.
- The chosen one, the messiah, has yet to come.
