What do Bahá'ís believe?

One God.
There is only one God, no matter how He is worshipped or what name is used to describe Him.

The Unity of Religions.
The founders of all the world's religions have shared the same purpose - to awaken our souls, and to show us how God wants us to live. Our knowledge of God has come from these "chosen ones" who have gradually revealed God's Will to all the peoples of the world down through the ages.

All people are loved equally by God. We should learn to love and respect all members of the human family and try to overcome all forms of prejudice. Bahá'u'lláh has given us a vision of humanity as one people and the earth as one home. This is the age of unity for all the peoples of the world.
