Religion

Religion is a structured system of beliefs, practices, and moral codes that often involves the worship of a higher power or deity. It provides a framework for understanding the nature of existence, the purpose of life, and the relationship between humans and the divine. Religions typically encompass rituals, narratives, and ethical guidelines that guide adherents in their daily lives and in their interactions with others. They can include organized institutions, sacred texts, and communal practices, as well as personal spiritual experiences. Religion can fulfill various functions, such as providing meaning, fostering community, and offering solace in times of difficulty. Throughout history, religions have influenced cultures and societies, shaping laws, behaviors, and worldviews.
