Introduction
Religion is a set of beliefs, practices, and rituals centered around the worship of a higher power or powers. There are many different religions in the world, each with its own set of beliefs, practices, and rituals. Some of the most widely practiced religions include Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Each religion has its own sacred texts, places of worship, and religious leaders. Many people practice religion as a way of finding meaning and purpose in their lives, and as a way of connecting with others who share their beliefs.
