Assyrian Religion
Assyrians were a Semitic race. Like most of the Semites, they had attained to the religious idea of a single and all-controlling god. Semites called this god Asshur and as the Hebrews did with Jehovah, the Assyrians were considered their god`s chosen people. The Assyrians` two religions that they had practiced so far were called Ashurism and Christianity. The first religion of the Assyrians was Ashurism. The Assyrians had been practicing Ashurism until 256 A.D. By that period of time, most of the Assyrians had accepted Christianity. Assyrians were the first people to accept Christianity.
