Summary
Who are we? How did we get here? What happens when we die? Tim and Moby can’t answer those questions, but in this BrainPOP movie they’ll show you how religion helps people come to terms with them. You’ll learn how religion gives people guidelines to help them live their lives, and how hundreds of religions are practiced all over the world. In a special feature at the end of the movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to the specifics of a number of the world’s religions, including some that you might not have heard of! You’ll find out why it’s good to be tolerant of other people’s beliefs, and why it’s okay to believe something that other people don’t--even if it involves a giant, infallible robot!
