History
Sikhism started in the early fifteenth century with Guru Nanak. Nanak believed that everyone was created equal and and should have equal opportunity. He also wanted to teach God's Will to everyone and show them that there is only one God and we are all accountable to HIm. After Guru Nanak there were ten other gurus that followed him like the popes after St. Peter in Christianity.
