“While some might assert that Linux itself is a religion, there
are plenty of religious and spiritual people who use and love
Linux. Therefore, there are naturally a number of software packages
for various religions. In my search for such software, I have
undoubtedly left some out, so feel free to suggest any I have
missed. Most of the software is for the two largest religions:
Christianity and Islam. Because of this, I have not included every
software package for those two religions.

“Hinduism

“Primarily practiced in South Asia, Hinduism undoubtedly has a
large number of Linux users.

“Quick Jyotish – A Vedic astrology program

“Linux also has support for sanskrit language and text.

“Buddhism

“Some say that Linux fits perfectly with Buddhist teachings,
making it the logical choice.

“Display Dhammapada – A program that displays a random
verse from the Dhammapada English or Polish translation.”
