Religion

Religion is a structured system of beliefs, practices, and values that typically involves the worship of a higher power or deity. It often encompasses a moral code that guides the behavior of its followers and provides answers to existential questions about life, purpose, and the universe. Religions can include organized communities, sacred texts, rituals, and traditions that help define the identity of the believers. They may also address concepts such as the afterlife, ethics, and the nature of the divine or transcendent. Religion plays a significant role in shaping cultures and societies, influencing social norms, art, and law.
