Religion was brought about from our earliestancestors Many of the "Hunter Gatherers" performed various rituals. including burying their dead with items. Many religious practices predate recorded history.

Religion became a method for people to understand their place in this universe.

It provided laws and culture to ensure a good life.

Unfortunately religion was also seen by the few as a tool to control the masses, by instilling absolutism, control of books, schools, and establishing itself as the supreme way, caused many wars with many innocent lives lost all in the name of religion. That being said, One major idea which has the most profound effect on humanity from religion is. To control the masses and gain absolute power.

The major idea of Buddhism is Nirvana. This is what the Buddha said is the goal of human life. Nirvana that the Buddha spoke about is the same as Liberation, Mukti, Moksha, Enlightenment, Realization. The Buddha self means the awakened one and that is the major idea of life. We should be awakened to the Truth, we should wake up from our slumber, from the darkness of ignorance that we are enveloped in. This is what the Buddha said. He said - light the lamp to overcome the darkness within, realize the purpose of life, realize the cause of dukkha or suffering. How can we overcome it? All this together forms the major principle of the Buddha.
