Understanding World Religions
Daniel Whyte IIIReligion is the driving force behind much of what happens in the world today -- particularly when it comes to the "big three" religions -- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Religious differences have and continue to spark wars, create nations, and spawn ongoing conflict down through the centuries. No matter what religion you adhere to (or even if you claim that you don't adhere to any religion at ... more

Key Facts
Reviews
- Biased and inaccurate
In his defense, the host doesn’t seem to claim an unbiased approach. However, after listening to more than a fifteen episodes, it is clear this is far from accurate and is saturated with an obvious agenda. I had hoped to broaden my understanding of many religions. Of particular concern was his episode regarding Mormonism - a faith practice which I follow and know something about - which allows me to use that episode as a gauge for truth and accuracy. In nearly every episode he prays for us t... more

United States2 years ago - Poorly made and inaccurate
The episodes are 15-20 minutes, but of that only about 5-7 minutes is spent sharing information about other religions. The accuracy of the content on some of the religions is quite bad and clearly biased.
Apple Podcasts1Dr CocoaUnited States3 years ago - Hypocritical assessment of a peaceful religion
So people can be Buddhists while living a lavish lifestyle, and you’re condemning that. Hello? Hillsong.

Australia3 years ago - Christian propaganda disguised as education
The creators of this podcast should be embarrassed. One third of the show is a sales pitch for a book, another third is hastily assembled Wikipedia quotes disguised as said book, and the final third is a sales pitch for Jesus. The podcast literally ends with a five minute prayer (again, 1/3rd the length of the episode) advising listeners to “accept the fact that you’re a sinner.” If you have to resort to deception and sleazy marketing tactics to recruit people to your religion, maybe you should ... more
Apple Podcasts1TShaneRogersUnited States3 years ago - Listen if this if need something to put you to sleep
I really wanted to learn more about world religions & their history - so thought I’d found the perfect podcast … but really could he speak any slower or sound any more bored ? - not to mention mispronounce any more words? A sad attempt to do something so worthwhile
Apple Podcasts1Allthenamesi'vetriedaretakenAustralia3 years ago - Love what your doing!
I appreciate you reaching out to those who maybe are considering turning to other faiths and pointing out the error of there ways. I pray that Gods kingdom is revealed to others from this insightful podcast
Apple Podcasts5God is so very goodUnited States3 years ago - Click bait
This is not at all as advertised. It is a sales pitch. Within 5 minutes it recommended I purchase a book from their website several times and the speaker said several times he was a Christian. I’m quite disappointed that this is another cheap, thinly veiled attempt to proselytize by someone who doesn’t fully understand what they are talking about.
Apple Podcasts1Reviewer MooseUnited States3 years ago - Not a true exploration of world religions
I understand you being Christian and stating that BUT, ending every podcast trying to “save” everyone is not necessary. I was raised Christian and do have some of the beliefs you do but presenting alternate views should be done with the space for people to make their own decision and not be evangelized too in every podcast.

Canada4 years ago - This Guy is so Ignorant
He says he knows so much about religions, but in order to test how accurate a source is, you’ve got to listen to their words on a topic that you already know a lot about. I’m order to do this, I listened to his podcast on my own religion. He was wrong on SO MANY points, and then went on to call it a religious cult and pray in the middle of the podcast that people would be turned away from joining the religion. Him being wrong about one religion discounts every other episode he has and his lack o... more
Apple Podcasts1Storm.LightUnited States5 years ago - Awful and subjective
This is an awful and biast podcast. I even went to the episode about Hinduism not because I’m religious but because I came here to learn about religions in general and yet he starts talking about Jesus and how he is going to save me. He basically just talks about how all the other religions are trash because it’s Jesus who’s the creators. Just don’t create a podcast like this with the illusion of educating people when that’s clearly not the case here. So so disappointed.
Apple Podcasts1Easy and Amazing.
Sweden5 years ago - From an american christian perspective
I have only listened to a couple of minutes of this podcast and the idea behind it is WONDERFUL. Unfortunately it does not seem as descriptive of the religions as I had hoped, since the perspective is so clearly distinct from mine. I hope someone else makes this podcast, and makes it more informative. The presenter does not seem very interested in the religions other than christianity and speaks in a very monotonous way for a podcast presenter.
Apple Podcasts2vsklfnvwlkw62(6hksbcSweden5 years ago - Preachy
Don’t waste your time if you’re looking to learn about religions. It’s basically a chanel to preach narrow minded christian garbage.
Pure nonsense.
