* 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. For example, the Christian religion calls it the 'golden rule.' And that does not mean 'he who has the gold makes the rules.'; it means that we are to treat others like we want them to treat us.
