Religion

Religion is a structured system of beliefs, practices, and values centered around concepts of the sacred, divine, or ultimate reality. It often involves the worship of a deity or deities, the observance of moral or ethical guidelines, and participation in rituals and ceremonies. Religions seek to address fundamental questions about existence, purpose, and the nature of the universe, providing followers with communal identity and a sense of belonging. Major world religions include Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism, each with its own doctrines, texts, and traditions. Religion can influence various aspects of life, including laws, customs, and social norms, and it often plays a crucial role in cultural and historical contexts.
