* One of the more common elements that is noticed is that each religion has a devotion to either god(s) and/or goddess(es). * Language. Each religion tends to have a particular set of terms that may not be used in everyday conversation, at least with people outside of the religion. == == * * I am not sure that I would agree with the previous response as being true. I am not aware of anything in my religion I cannot share with anyone else, regardless of their beliefs. Another answer: I would think a common thread of religions is that through either a formal heirarchy or followers cohesiveness, they are able to be strong influences on the actions of the people in the society they are found. == == == == * Belief in a higher being or beings. == == * The belief and faith and trust in a holy being. One mightier than humans. == == * All religions answer the questions to which we do not have answers. Why we exist; what we exist for, what are we supposed to do about other people and our thoughts about them, et cetera, which in this case means the major questions about our relationships with others, the divine and ourselves. * All religions make a statment of ethics and who we ought, should and in our own interest relate to others.

Three activities that most religions have in common are worship, prayer, and rituals. These activities are often seen as fundamental expressions of faith and belief, serving to connect individuals with the divine or spiritual realm within their respective religious traditions.
According to Friedrich von Hugel, a Modernist Christian Theologian, the phenomena of religion is characterized by three elements, viz.: the historical/institutional element, the scientific/intellectual element and the mystical/experiential element.
One would be the belief in supernatural beings or forces, such as gods and goddesses, or even ancestral spirits. Another common factor is a that religions commonly have a person to connect them to this higher being. This person guides others and are seen as skilled at communicating with these supernatural beings. Examples of these would be priests, priestesses, or shamans. A third common factor are rituals or ceremonies. These rituals help them connect with the supernatural forces people believe in.
