Is religion a cultural universal

Answer 1

some cultures use a religion as their way of life, like the Indians and some American lifestyles, just two around the world use the rules and ways of the religion to live their lives and as to how they observe life and use their emotions and actions as a result of learning adataping and using/integrating the religion into their own culture.

Answer 2

Yes, religion is considered a cultural universal because almost all cultures around the world have some form of religious beliefs or practices. These beliefs often influence social norms, rituals, and values within a society. Religion plays a significant role in shaping a culture's identity and worldview.

Answer 3

Most cultures try to create answers for the difficult emotional questions (even if the answers are obvious eg: causality) by creating a mythology to bind societies or cultures together eg. Christianity, Hinduism, Islam etc. The most successful religions are the ones that give power to the states that the religions operate and profligate in thus providing incentives to leaders of states to support said religions/mythologies.

Answer 4

Culture includes the arts, customs, beliefs, habits, values, behavior and material objects that characterize a particular society or nation. Religion is a part of culture, usually a very important part, but it is a long way from being all there is, and is therefore not the same thing.

Answer 5

Religion is one component that exists within a larger culture. The term "culture" refers generally to a set of practices, beliefs and institutions that, collectively, describe a specific population. The components of culture are often passed down from generation to generation and can include not only religious practice, but also language, mythology, tradition, the arts and political institutions or practices. So, while religious practice may represent one aspect of a peoples culture, a larger assessment of the culture as a whole will include many other considerations. A definition of America's culture, for example, would require an analysis not only of the religions practiced in America, but also the music, television programs, movies, traditions, political beliefs, economic philosophy, law and languages propagated by the American people.
