The owners of LightPlanet strongly advocate religious tolerance and view religion as a key factor in strengthening families and addressing the challenges of today's complex world. LightPlanet was founded in 1996 by Russell Anderson with significant contributions from religious scholar W. John Walsh. More than a decade later, LightPlanet continues to provide information about world religions.
