Is it true that Akbar promoted a new religion called Din-i-Ilahi?
Yes. One reference work states Akbar left Islam and created a new religion, Din-i-Ilahi, in 1582, converting to it with loyal officials. Other sources describe Din-i-Ilahi as Akbar's religious movement or policy, though some note scholarly dispute over whether it was truly a new religion.
