MEANING OF RELIGION

Religion is very difficult to define, but it basically refers to what you believe about human beings’ relationship to a higher power (or God). Religion is the mode of worship . Religion is the way that we worship or communicate with the Almighty Supreme Being  .Religion teaches you a set of practices to live by, such as being kind to others, telling the truth or praying. Many religions have different traditions, like attending church or temple, celebrating religious holidays or wearing specific clothes.

Something that all religions have in common is that they are based on faith, which is being confidently sure about something even if you cannot see it. There is no concrete proof that one particular religion is correct, so people have to turn to faith in order to practice their religion.

Religion is belief in a god or gods and the activities that are connected with this belief, such as praying or worshipping in a building such as a church or temple
