  • Religion is a complex system of cultural and belief systems as well as world views, which establish symbols that connect to humanity spirituality and moral values in some cases. Most religions use narratives, symbols, traditions and sacred histories to define their religion as a way to explain the definition of life, but more oftenly, the origins of the universe and life on Earth. Followers often use morality, a certain lifestyle, ethics, and religious laws from their ideas of the universe, nature, and humanity. Religion is also said as either faith or belief system, but religion differs from private belief since religion has a more public view. They usually have certain, organized behaviors. This sets the definition for how a person can gain membership or adherence, congregations of laity, organized meetings or services as part of worshipping the deity or for prayer, holy places (nature or man-made), and scriptures. The practive of religion has a variety of practives, including sermons, activities in the name of a god (or gods), sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trance, initiations, funerary services, matrimonial services, meditation, music, art, dance, public services, and so on. There are also holidays, days which are special for a certain religion, such as Christmas for Christians, Holi Day of Hindus, Sabbath for Jews, and Ramadan for Muslims. The origins of religion have come from different kinds of different cultures throughout history. Religions usually place either emphasis on belief, or emphasis on practice. They usually focus on the expereince of the religious being, but sometimes, they also consider activities of whole religious groups to be very important. Many of them all claim to be universal, beliebing that its laws and cosmology will be the guide for everyone, but others inyended to practice religion with a closelt defined or localized group. In most parts of the world, religious influence can be seen within many public institutions, such as schools, education, hospitals, families, governments, and politics. Academics who study relgion often divided it into three main categories: wolrd religions, the most common type of religion which refers to the transcultural, international faiths, indigeneous religions (such as Christianity, Islam, Judiasm, and Hinduism), which refer to smaller, culture or nation-specific relgions groups (such as African tribal religions and Native American tribal religions), and new religious movements, which refer to some of the recent, newest faiths. Unlike OTL, religion plays a more larger importance in some parts of the world. In Europe, it is considered "usual" to practice their Christian faith as a part of its European culture. In China, Buddhism and Taoism are more widespread without Communism. In Africa, Christianity is the fastest growing religion, quickly moving north in Mali.
