Jainism 
          
Also known as Jaina Dharma, it is a religion that was founded
by Nataputta Mahavira. However, many sources differ as to his
real name. There is no specific data on the origin of this religion
while many scholars believe that the non-theistic religion may
have originated in the Indus Valley Civilization to demonstrate
the indigenous spirituality of that region prior to the arrival of
the Indo-Aryan migration in India.
Jainism supports the belief in the non-existence of a deity who
has the power to be omnipotent, as for Jainism the universe
was not created by a deity and mainly it focuses on a material
detachment within human life. However, they defend other
ideas around different aspects like reincarnation that we can
find in other types of religious beliefs.                    Jainism is based on law, which ultimately provides a reward for
either good deeds or punishment for bad deeds. Currently,
Jainism is believed to have approximately 4.2 million
adherents in India, considered a minority religion. There are
also followers in other areas such as North America, the Far
East, Western Europe, Australia, and others, albeit with a small
excess.
