Religion is one of the forms of consciousness that exists and develops on the basis of mysterious forces and forces that lead a life that is difficult to explain satisfactorily. There seems to be a force that humans cannot see or hear. Those magical secrets in life have always been the nucleus of religion. As long as life has inexplicable mysterious secrets, religion will still exist.



Religion is one of the fields of spiritual culture. After becoming a part of the cultural whole, religion integrates identified artistic, moral, philosophical, and scientific phenomena and thereby seems to inherit mythological traditions. Culture is a human-created element, appearing with the appearance of human society. In a broad sense, culture is what distinguishes humans from animals, is a system of material and spiritual values created and accumulated in history through the process of practical activities. In the narrow sense, culture generally refers to norms, behaviors, customs, social structures, concepts, ideas, value systems, etc. To understand a culture, we need to look at a culture. consider that culture on 3 basic aspects including material level, structural level, and spiritual level. In which religious belief belongs to the spiritual level, however, it manifests itself in two forms: tangible (temples, temples ..) and intangible (music, performance...). As a very early form of social consciousness, religion always has a dialectical relationship with culture. There is always a multidimensional relationship between religion and culture, talking about religion and culture is talking about the role of religion in creating the cultural form of an ethnic group, a country, a continent, and vice versa. Any religion is born out of a particular culture. Different forms of religious beliefs born in different ethnic communities always carry the identity characteristics of that culture or the culture that creates religion and vice versa, in turn, religion and belief, in turn, contribute to the enrichment of that culture. In the process of existence and development, religions are perfected by different cultures (cultural change, contact, and integration with other cultures), and vice versa, religion is spread outside the cultural space. The culture that produced it integrates into another culture. It is through the process of penetrating this new culture that religion, on the one hand, helps this culture to arise new cultural values, on the other hand, it is enriched by that new culture through the adapt, select, and integrate with the culture in which it is present.
The items described previously are simply tangible manifestations of civilization. What is more culturally relevant to mankind is how people become aware of themselves. This is acquired information rather than a hereditary outcome that develops at birth. This means that everyone in a society gets familiar with what is going on around him, which eventually becomes a tradition. That is what civilization is made out of, and religion is one of its many subdivisions.
Religion and culture are two of the world's most closely related topics, but they are fundamentally different in nature and definition. Several theories have proposed a link between the two, such as religion serving as the center of culture. We can never dispute, however, that certain cultures can exist independently of any sort of religion in society.
