Did u know that eighty-four percent of the world’s population has some kind of religious belief? According to the wed site Major Religions, sixteen percent of the world’s population is nonreligious. Within this sixteen percent, there are people that are agnostic, atheist, secular humanist, and people answering none or no religious preference. The eighty-four percent that are religious include any religion from the smallest “tribal to Christianity” (Major Religions). “Wherever the human imagination goes, so goes the spirit”(Grossman). Therefore there was no question that religion would have been present in a virtual world like second life. There are several types of religions and types of worship found within the second life, some of them are; Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity.
