Religions have leaders to provide guidance, interpret sacred texts, and facilitate communal worship, helping followers navigate their spiritual journeys. Leaders often serve as moral exemplars, offering teachings and practices that align with the faith's principles. They also play a crucial role in maintaining organizational structure, addressing community needs, and fostering a sense of belonging among adherents. Additionally, leaders can help mediate conflicts and promote social cohesion within the religious community.

Religions are a function of culture. As such, the location of the creation of the religion and the location of where it is being currently practiced causes different festivals and holidays to be celebrated, usually due to a proclamation of one of the religion's leaders or due to a large event in the religion's timeline. As such, some proclamations are observed differently or not at all by other religions and usually the histories of religions are as varied as the religions themselves.
