Religión

Religion is a system of beliefs, practices, and values that often involves the worship of a higher power or deity. It provides a framework for understanding the meaning of life, the nature of existence, and the moral principles guiding human behavior. Religions typically include a set of rituals, sacred texts, ethical guidelines, and community practices that bind followers together in a shared faith. They may also address existential questions, offer explanations for the origins of the universe, and propose concepts of the afterlife. Religions can vary widely in their doctrines and expressions, encompassing monotheism (belief in a single god), polytheism (belief in multiple gods), animism (belief in spiritual forces within nature), and secular philosophies that may not involve the divine. Across cultures and history, religion has played a significant role in shaping societies, influencing laws, art, and personal identities.
