∙ 8y agoReligion is any set of beliefs that direct human action toward the accomplishment of an ultimate goal. Religion provides human life with purpose and direction by instilling a moral code concerning right and wrong actions, self-sacrifice for the welfare of others, the worship of some ultimate Being or supernatural beings that control the universe or some aspects of it, and the concept of an afterlife of reward or punishment resulting from one's right or wrong actions in this life.
