Religion set of common beliefs and
practices generally held by a group of people, often codified as
prayer, ritual, and religious law. Religion also encompasses
ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and
mythology, as well as personal faith and mystic experience. The
term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to
communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming
from shared conviction.
In the frame of European religious thought, religions present a
common quality, the "hallmark of patriarchal religious thought":
the division of the world in two comprehensive domains, one
sacred, the other profane. Religion is often described as a
communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system
of thought, unseen being, person, or object, that is considered
to be supernatural, sacred, divine, or of the highest truth.
Moral codes, practices, values, institutions, tradition,
rituals, and scriptures are often traditionally associated with
the core belief, and these may have some overlap with concepts
in secular philosophy. Religion is also often described as a
"way of life".
The development of religion has taken many forms in various
cultures. "Organized religion" generally refers to an
organization of people supporting the exercise of some religion
with a prescribed set of beliefs, often taking the form of a
legal entity (see religion-supporting organization). Other
religions believe in personal revelation and responsibility.
"Religion" is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or
"belief system," but is more socially defined than that of
personal convictions.
