Religion

Religion is a structured system of beliefs, practices, and values often centered around concepts of the divine, spirituality, and moral conduct. Typically, it involves worship of a higher power or deity, rituals, ethical guidelines, and a community of followers sharing similar beliefs. Religions can be organized (as in the case of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc.) or more informal and personal. They often address fundamental questions about existence, purpose, and the nature of life and death. Additionally, religions can influence culture, law, art, and social norms, playing a significant role in shaping individual and collective identities.
