7‑Day Starter Plan
A simple plan for beginners: orient, learn vocabulary, compare, then go deeper.
| Day | Focus | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Overview | Read the religion overview page + write a 5‑sentence summary. |
| 2 | Vocabulary | Learn 5–10 key terms (use the “starter vocabulary” table). |
| 3 | Texts | Identify key scriptures and how interpretation works (tradition, commentary, schools). |
| 4 | Practices | List common rituals/worship patterns and their purpose. |
| 5 | Diversity | Note major internal branches/movements; find at least two perspectives. |
| 6 | Compare | Use the comparison tool to compare with another religion, carefully and neutrally. |
| 7 | Reflect | Write what surprised you and what you still need to verify with better sources. |
