And God said, "Let there be light'; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. Christianity is one of the most widely practiced religions in the world today. It is based around the belief of one supreme ruler, God. The main guide that Christians base their life around is the Bible which is a collection of books collected over 1000's of years. To Christians it is a holy book.

Most people believe that the world is too good to be created just by chance and because of this they believe that there must be a supreme responsible for our being. People may also become Christian because they have been brought up in a Christian family. Most Christians also go to church on Sunday or attend a youth group of some sort.
