FAQs:
Is religion like culture?
Answer.
Culture is generally defined as a set of rules and expected behaviors, known as norms. These are not the
same as the beliefs required to form a religion, but do not necessarily interfere with them. A religion can be part of
a culture if it is widely recognized within a society, or especially if its observance is mandated by the norms of a
society. A religion can also be the basis of a culture if it is the common denominator of a group of people who are
not otherwise similar. For example, members of the Jewish diaspora can find common ground based on their
religious tenets, and thus form a Jewish culture, or a subculture within a broader culture in which they are a minority.
Likewise, members of a widespread and non-ethnic religion like Christianity can develop cultural norms around their
common beliefs, which may form an aspect or subset of a wider culture, becoming dominant over other aspects.
