Mathematical Analysis of Religions

Abstract

This article tries to give a mathematical expression and analysis of world religions such as Christianity and Buddhism. Religions-the same as ontology or metaphysics as a philosophical expression of religions-can-not have verifiability in the same sense as science. However, one can insist on logical consistency. Mathematics also cannot have verifiability but must have logical consistency. There is a possibility to give a mathematical expression and analysis of religions, which are expressed philosophically by ontology. Section 1 offers an ontology which will be able to give a philosophical expression of world religions such as Christianity and Buddhism. Section 2 expresses Christianity and Buddhism philosophically in terms of ontology. Section 3 summarizes important results of set theory through which it will be possible to express religions mathematically. Section 4 tries to give a mathematical expression and analysis of religions by means of the set theory.
