Bahá'í teachings emphasize the spiritual oneness of humanity and the underlying unity of the major world religions. Religious history is seen to have unfolded through the influence of a series of divinely-sent messengers, each of whom established a religion that was suited to the needs of the time. These messengers have included Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, the Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, Muhammad and, most recently, the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. In Bahá'í belief, each messenger is stated to have taught that other messengers would follow and that Bahá'u'lláh's claims and teachings fulfil the eschatological promises of previous scriptures. Humanity is understood to be involved in a process of collective evolution, and the need of the present time is for the gradual establishment of peace, justice and unity on a global scale.

The Baha'i Faith developed out of Islam in the nineteenth century in Persia.  The word Baha'i refers to those who belong to the faith, rather than the religion itself.

Despite the faith's rather liberal approach to other religions and to the pursuit of justice and human rights, they are often criticized for their treatment of homosexuality as a condition that one must strive to overcome, much like the consumption of alcohol. 

"In theology, monotheism (from Greek μόνος "one" and θεός "god") is the belief in the existence of one deity, or in the oneness of God. In a Western context, the concept of "monotheism" tends to be dominated by the concept of the god of the Abrahamic religions and the Platonic concept of God as put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite."

Atheism is the belief that there are no gods. Atheism is often founded on the lack of evidence for gods (empiricism), the contradictions within arguments given for gods (logic), and the methods by which supposed gods are "known" (epistemology).

Atheism, though often used in conjunction with terms such as secularism, should not be confused with a lack of religious belief.  Some religions such as Jainism are atheistic, in that they do not believe in personal deity or a creator god, yet still have saint-like figures that are worshipped, as well as a moral philosophy and eschatological ideas.  Some forms of Buddhism could also be described as atheistic.
