Beliefs and Practices

Religious beliefs and practices got its own role in every society that we know. These beliefs and practices are very ancient, predating even the emergence of modern Homo sapience. Religion is a universal social institution, but it takes multitude of forms. There are many thousands of religions in the modern world, and as many ways of expressing religious faith.

The people who believe in religion express their faith by worshipping Gods, totems and ancestors. There are some people who practice meditation, solemn prayer & frenzy mass. The great variety of religious behaviour and belief makes “religion” very difficult to define.

“There is only one religion though there are a hundred versions of it”
- George Bernard Shaw
