Religion is a set of beliefs and social-cultural systems, including certain behavio(u)rs and practices, morals, beliefs and worldviews, that relate humanity to supernatural or spiritual elements[1]—though there is no current fully agreed definition on what a religion exactly is. Different religions may or may not have different parts about the divine, sacredness, faith and a supernatural being or beings.
Religion often answers questions about the origin, nature, and purpose of existence, usually including a belief in supernatural entities, such as deities or spirits that have power in the natural world. Religious practices include the rituals and devotions directed at the supernatural. Often religions believe in the spiritual nature of humans. There are many different religions, denominations or sects, each with a different set of beliefs. Some beliefs are also concerned with the moral behavior of humans.[2]
