Introduction Christianity and Islam are the two most practiced religions in the world and have influenced the art, politics, and culture of societies around the globe for the last 1,500 years. Over the centuries, these two Abrahamic religions, which share foundational beliefs, have evolved significantly as new adherents incorporated local customs into their religious practices and as divisions occurred over conflicting beliefs and leadership disputes.
