Religion

Religion is a structured system of beliefs, practices, and values centered around questions of existence, purpose, and the divine. It often involves the worship of a higher power or deity, the adherence to moral principles, and communal practices that foster social bonds among followers. Religions typically include sacred texts, rituals, ethical guidelines, and organizations. They serve as frameworks for understanding the universe and human life, providing answers to existential questions and guiding behavior through a moral compass. Major world religions include Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism, each with its own unique beliefs and practices. Religion can also encompass a wide range of spiritual beliefs and movements that may not fit into traditional definitions.
