A monotheistic religion based in India. They have gurus.

Religions usually disown me due to my family having been Loyalist during the Revolutionary War.

sick ism was created to fight the Muslim where the idol worship ping Hindu was appeasing them.
sick ism is about killing Muslims now. all sicks have to kill one Muslim in their life time according the the Grant sahib, this to avenge the death of gurus.

A religion of the Easterns. Easterners had GREAT religions years ago such as Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, etc.

Sikh:

Origin of Sikh was founded by Guru Nanak, c. 1500 AD, Punjab, India.
Adherents worldwide are 23 million.

One God (Ik Onkar, Nam) exists and made humans to support life's purpose which is to naturally overcome the self, align life with will of God, and become a "saint soldier," fighting for good. Reincarnation is the afterlife until resolve karma and merge with God.

Their practices; Prayer and meditation on God's name, services at temple (hardware), turban and five Ks. Balance work, worship, and charity. No monasticism or asceticism.

Holy texts are: Adi Granth (Sri Guru Granth Sahib)

There are no atheists on here, just people denying God since they are so angry with him.

Sikhism is a very peaceful religion and way of life for millions. Many of the people you see with turbans are not Muslim, but Sikh. They wear their hair very long, carry a special comb and have lots of little things we in the west might find a little strange.

Try Viki to get yourself started learning more in case your question has any legitimacy.

The Sikh religion has a neat pacifist, tolerant outlook on mankind.
