Religion is a
fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a group of
people. These set of beliefs concern the cause, nature, and purpose of the
universe, and involve devotional and ritual observances. They also often
contain a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
Ever since the world began, man has demonstrated a natural
inclination towards faith and worship of anything he considered
superior/difficult to understand. His religion consisted of trying to appease
and get favors from the supreme being he feared. This resulted in performing
rituals (some of them barbaric) and keeping traditions or laws to earn goodness
and/or everlasting life.
