Religion

Religion is a system of beliefs, practices, and moral values that relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements. It often involves the worship of deities or a higher power, adherence to a set of doctrines, and participation in communal rituals. Religions may provide a framework for understanding life, ethics, the nature of the universe, and often address existential questions such as the purpose of life, the problem of evil, and the afterlife. They typically include organized structures, sacred texts, traditions, and practices that guide the behavior and beliefs of their followers. Different religions can vary significantly in beliefs and practices, yet many share common themes such as the pursuit of meaning, community, and moral guidance.
