What is Religion?

""

Religion is a system of beliefs, practices, and moral values often centered around questions of existence, purpose, and the divine. It typically involves faith in a higher power or powers, sacred texts, rituals, and a community of followers who share common spiritual goals.

Religion can offer guidance on how to live, explain the mysteries of life and death, and provide a sense of meaning, comfort, and belonging. Across cultures and history, religion has shaped societies, inspired art and philosophy, and influenced laws and traditions.
