Do you know the 5 major religions of the world? And their main religious text?
10 points to first correct answer. :)
Grand Poobah wins. I was hoping someone would also say the Talmud under Judaism, but I guess that's not exactly their main religious text. :)

Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism.
Pali Canon, Qur'an, Bible, Tanakh, Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. The last two are both used by Hindus.
Edit: But technically, the Buddhists don't have one central text that all traditions use.
Edit: Jews don't just use the Torah though. The Torah is only the first five books of the Tanakh.
