By definition, religious philosophy is a branch of philosophy that takes its cues and orientation from the teachings of a specific religion. It can be done impartially, but adherents of that faith may also use it to influence others. The concepts of deity and the divine are central to religious philosophizing.

Some philosophical similarities between religions can be attributed to the fact that they all evolved from a common ancestor. Beliefs about the afterlife, souls, and miracles are all part of these philosophies, which are widely held to be universal. The concepts and values that inform any religion's teachings give that faith its distinctive tenor and character. Some examples of diverse religious tenets are:

• The philosophies developed and practiced by Christians are known as Christian philosophy.
• Many different schools of thought within Hinduism make up what is known as Hindu philosophy.
• Traditional Muslim philosophical thought is known as "Islamic philosophy."
• Philosophy of the Jain sect of India
