He then outlines his own beliefs, which are rooted in a rejection of dogma and a focus on living a simple, honest, and compassionate life.Tolstoy's ideas are influenced by a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. He argues that true religion is not about following a set of rules or beliefs, but rather about striving to live a life of moral and spiritual integrity.Throughout the book, Tolstoy engages with a range of theological and philosophical questions, including the nature of God, the meaning of life, and the role of suffering in human existence. He also reflects on his own personal struggles and the challenges he faced in reconciling his beliefs with the world around him.My Religion is a thought-provoking and deeply personal work that offers a unique perspective on spirituality and faith.
