Christianity

Christianity was one of the major religions of Earth. It centred around the teachings of the religious figure Jesus Christ. Humans would come to base their calendar for much of their history on the estimated year of Christ's birth. The Doctor was apparently present at his birth (TV: Voyage of the Damned) and his death/resurrection (TV: Planet of the Dead). These two events were celebrated by the Earth holidays of Christmas and Easter, respectively. Christianity was one of countless religions throughout the universe to have a devil figure inspired by the Beast. (TV: The Satan Pit)
