Best Answer

During the ancient times, kings and rulers wanted to show how much they worshipped God. They also wanted to show off their wealth. Slowly, life changed so that rites of passages were mandatory for many cultures. Nowadays with many religions around us, we give rites a lower place in life and focus our attention on God instead of rituals. I am not implying that rites are a waste though. They make some people feel closer to God.

Rites of passage are important in religion as they mark significant transitions or milestones in an individual's spiritual journey. They provide a sense of continuity with the community, serve as a way to transmit religious teachings and values, and help individuals connect with the divine in a meaningful way. Additionally, they often strengthen social bonds within the religious community and help individuals navigate life's changes with a sense of purpose and meaning.
