Sikhism is a monotheistic religion founded in the Punjab region of India during the late 15th century. It emphasizes the belief in one universal God, the importance of equality and service to others, and living a virtuous life based on the teachings of its ten gurus. Sikhism's distinct identity is characterized by its unique practices such as the wearing of the Five Ks (articles of faith), the use of the sacred scripture Guru Granth Sahib, and the tradition of community-oriented living in gurdwaras (temples). In the hierarchy of "Religions/Paganism," Sikhism can be seen as a distinct path that values the individual's direct connection with the divine, while also recognizing the importance of community and shared spiritual practices. It does not fit under Agnosticism, which is characterized by skepticism or uncertainty about the existence of a higher power, as Sikhism is unequivocal in its belief in one God.
