Religions of humanity

Faiths is the plural of faith, referring to distinct religious traditions or belief systems: the world's major faiths, people of all faiths.

The plural emphasizes separate, organized religions—Christianity, Islam, Buddhism—rather than the general concept of belief or trust that faith usually conveys in singular form.
