About the Event
The largest religion in the world is Christianity, yet two thirds of the world’s population is not Christian—over four billion people. Islam is the fastest growing faith in the world. China and India have become not only two of the most influential world economies, but also exporters of religious ideas such as yoga, meditation, and Tai Chi that have captured the imagination of the West. Religious conflicts also become a source of strife and suffering in the world rather than comfort and peace.
