Religion encompasses various belief systems, practices, rituals, and values that often revolve around a higher power, spirituality, moral codes, and explanations of the universe’s origin and purpose. It serves as a framework that guides individuals or communities in understanding their existence, moral principles, and the meaning of life. Religion can take diverse forms, from organized institutionalized faiths like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and others, to more personal and spiritual belief systems. It often plays a crucial role in shaping cultures, traditions, ethics, and individual identities.
