How many of you have ever even ever heard of Sikhism (pronounced sick-ism)? Unless you know someone who is Sikh (as I do) or have studied World Religions (as I did), you most likely have never heard of this religion. It originated in India and is actually a sort of hybrid of Islam and Christianity. It is extremely non-violent, even going to the extent where its members are vegetarian. They often grow their hair extremely long and the men wear turbans.
Sikhism is a real, legitimate religion based on my analysis using the 7 dimensions. I think that it is an interesting religion, one that I would love to explore further. I find the parallels between Sikhism and Christianity to be extremely interesting. I also like how it has managed to bring some semblance of peace and compromise to the religiously hostile region it was founded in, which is populated with both Muslims and Christians. It's doctrine to me sounds, as most good religions do, to be based in love and not in hate. Go Sikhs!
