People use the term Abrahamic Religion for the popular religions Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the new religions, Bahai, Rastafarianism, and Mandaeism. Even though these religions are quite different from each other in many ways, they also agree in many other very important ways on the basic general nature of the one God whom they worship.

The word "Abrahamic" refers to the ancient prophet Abraham, who is respected in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as the first prophet of God.

Another thing Abrahamic religions have in common is that they are "Monotheistic" (from the Greek words for "one" and "God"), meaning belief in just one God.

They also all believe that people should pray to this God often.
