Conclusions

The concept of Religion
Religion is a collection cultural systems, belief systems and world
views that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality
and sometimes to moral values. Many religions have narratives,
symbols, tradition and sacred histories that are intended to explain
the meaning of life or to explain the origin of life or the Universe.
From their beliefs about the cosmos and human nature people
derive morality, ethics, religious laws or preferred lifestyle.

According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the
