Religion

Religion is a system of beliefs, practices, and values centered around questions of existence, purpose, and the nature of the universe. It often involves the worship of a higher power, deity, or deities, and encompasses organized communities that gather for collective rituals and celebrations. Religions can provide moral guidance, a sense of belonging, and frameworks for understanding the world, often incorporating sacred texts, traditions, and doctrines. They may also address existential questions regarding life and death, ethics, and the human experience, influencing cultural and social practices. Major world religions include Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism, among others, each with its unique teachings, rituals, and interpretations of the divine.
