**Sacred Texts**
media type="custom" key="3821767"

The animoto created above groups the various religious texts in numerous religions into three different categories: Sacred Texts, Inspirational Texts and Guidelines.

The Sacred Texts include books from Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and The Temple of the Vampire. Each of these religion's texts have one major thing in common; they value the ideas and divine thoughts of people who seem to have come into contact with their holy leader. They include stories, revelations and guidelines to help lead people throughout their cherished religion.

Inspirational texts are included in religions that don't continuously follow any sort of book or sacred text. For example, Mormons and Quakers only fall back onto the Bible as it is not used under daily circumstances in these religions. Another inspirational book in Mormonism would be, "The Book of Mormon" which simply helps Mormons to understand their religion more thoroughly.

The religions that incorporate texts considered as guidelines would be: Buddhism, Daoism, Raelism, Scientology and Wicca. Each one of these religions does not solely rely on one sacred text. Most of these religions do not even have a sacred text. The more contemporary religions such as Scientology and Raelism have books that are written by their founders. Nowadays these books are considered to help people understand their religion and what it is based upon. Buddhism and Doaism both have specific beliefs that their followers are asked to observe which are written in the Noble Eightfold Path and the 4 Noble Truths (Buddhism) and The Tao Te Ching (Daoism). Lastly, Wiccans refer to the "Book of Shadows."

All religions have some sort of book/text that the followers refer to. Each of these texts are based on certain guidelines and factual information regarding the religion itself.
