Dualism in religion

Dualism in religion refers to the belief that reality comprises two fundamental and often opposing forces, such as good and evil, spiritual and material, or divine and mortal. It suggests that these forces are distinct but interact or coexist, shaping the universe and human existence. Many religions, like Zoroastrianism and certain interpretations of Christianity and Hinduism, incorporate dualistic ideas to explain moral conflicts, the nature of the soul, and the struggle between opposing powers. This perspective offers a worldview where spiritual and physical realms are separate yet interconnected, emphasizing moral choices and the ongoing battle between good and evil.
