“ Both John the Baptist and archangel Gabriel are both important figures who practiced the religion.”

Ummm ... no.

They may be claimed to have been but Mohammad said Jesus taught Islam too so such claims are easily suspect.

Who writes this cr@p?

They couldn’t even bother to wait for people who supposedly practice this sort of idolatry to respond before going to press.

And John the Baptist practiced it? If they’re claiming that because he preached a baptism of repentance, then I guess I practice it, too - after all, I take baths, too.
And angel Gabriel? I’ll have what they’re smoking for $1,000, Alex.

Just one of the many gnostic and related cults that lifted ideas from Judaism and Christianity as well as from pagan religions. They were especially prevalent in the Near East, to the point where a majority of the churches in that area were declared as heretical in the first major schism of the church, before the Catholic-Orthodox split or the Catholic-Protestant split.

According to the deciphered text, the amulet was meant to protect a man named Abbiya from blood-drinking spirits and a demon. "In the name of life, may there be health to the spirit and soul of Abbiya, the son of Mahua," the translated text says.

"He was a bit of a jerk"

How can “an archangel” ‘practice religion’?
Isn’t it, according to all those bibles that are out there, that “an archangel” was ‘made to serve god’?
‘Religion’ is man-made, right?
