Behind the Faith app for iPhone and iPad

There are few things in this world that are not opinions. But there is a difference between uninformed opinion and informed opinion.

Quick facts about Hinduism, Buddhism, Paganism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Scientology, Jediism with their doctrines, dictionary and polls for you to participate in. These facts are not of our opinion. **This is NOT theological, these are historical facts. PLEASE do NOT give us bad feedback because they may conflict with your theological views, were just reporting historical/scholarly facts.**

The facts presented of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are shared by the mainstream scholarly community*. As for Christianity these facts are taught in all mainline seminaries throughout North America and Europe. The majority of these facts have been known for centuries, with the exception of Scientology and Jediism because of their recent development. You are highly encouraged to research these facts on your own since we couldnt include all of the sources for reasons of practically due to the nature of this App. Most of the faithful are unaware of these important facts and have always built their beliefs based on hearsay and uninformed opinions. We thought extending these facts scholars have known about for centuries is long overdue. Most of these facts you dont have to be a scholar to realize. By simply comparing older versions of a doctrine and reading a bit about history you will start to put some of the pieces of this puzzle together.

In most of the doctrinal facts passages are cited. In the majority of cases we purposely did not link them to an online Bible/Quran because of translation bias, so we will leave that up to you. A great sources for comparing bible translations are bible.cc or biblegateway.com.

*For Christianity, the only group who sometimes disagree with these facts are conservative evangelicals and fundamentalists, because of their theological views.
