society is 'relationships' for the individual.
if everybody feels related to everyone then we can say religion is global or universal in its scope
James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their afflictions, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
because religion is the institution of universal records :)
It isn't.

Religion
Karl Marx, who famously stated that religion is the opiate of the masses, did not see religion as a positive institution, but as a tool used by repressive and unjust societies to persuade populations to accept injustice rather than working for social change.
Islam is a universal religion. It is second largest religion of the world, next to Christianity.
Christianity is a universal religion, it is not class structured. There were Romans of all social classes who were converts from the git -go.
Religion
Religion is a social institution because it provides a shared belief system, values, and norms that bind individuals together in a community. It often plays a role in shaping cultural identity, organizing social behavior, and providing a sense of purpose and meaning to people's lives. Additionally, religious institutions often have hierarchies, rituals, and traditions that help maintain social order and cohesion within a society.
