Episcopalianism and Islam also share many similar beliefs. Both of the religions believe in one god, although it is largely regarded as Allah in Islam, they both have Angels, prophets, they both have an after life, a holy book or books. Although there is some differences, one major being that the Christian god is actually split into a Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Also Jesus is Gods son, but in the Islamic belief the main prophet, Muhammad, is just a man.

Episcopalianism was largely spread by the English settlers when England was in its Imperial age.

None of them are the same thing but they are all god. Although it might sound like it is polytheistic it is monotheistic. Christianity, and by extent Episcopalianism being a branch of Christianity, have quite a few holy places but not many sacred texts. The sacred places consist of: Nazareth, Jesus’ hometown, Jerusalem, an important town where Jesus preached, Golgotha, the place where Jesus and many other opposers to the Romans were crucified, Bethlehem, the place where Jesus was crucified, and the River Jordan, the place where Jesus was baptized.
