  2. Religion strengthens a culture in many ways. First off, religions sometimes tell you what you can and cant eat, and that changes the way you live. Also, religion tells you what you what you can and cant do (ex: when your jewish, you cant drive on shabat). And lastly, religion effect what you learn/read/study. There are many ways that religion strengthens culture.

  3. Religion is a basic outline for living your life full of meanings and purpose. It offers important values and ideas to worship while supporting the base of culture. Culture depends on the power and leadership of religion because religion lays out the rules and orders to follow. Religion directs you to make choices and culture affects these beliefs. Religion basically makes culture stronger because it's makes clearer ideas to what we think is important and good for our lives.- JACKIE SEVERSON PERIOD 1

  5. Religion strengthens culture by bringing together people with common beliefs. Since religion tells us how to act and what to believe, it also gives us examples to follow by. Religion has a great influence on what we do every day.

  6. there are many ways that religion strengthens a culture. one is by what type of clothing you have to wear. for example when you are a jewish you have to wear a tallit and a kippa to temple. also it determines what you can and can not eat. one example of this is if you keep kosher you are not aloud to mix milk and meat. what you believe in and what you study also has an effect, like if you go to church you study the new testament and if you are jewish you study the old testament. in many cultures religious beliefs influence certain aspects of daily life. these beliefs bring unity which strengthen a culture.

  7. Religion strengthens culture by uniting a country, state, or city. Religion can be important but can also bring a lot of disputes and wars. Lastly people who belief in the same religion have something to relate to.

  8. Religion strengthens culture because it gives you an outline of how to live, and what's morally right and morally wrong. It brings us together with people that we have things in common with, creating bonds that can last a lifetime.

  9. Religion strengthens a culture by giving everyone something to be guided by. People are going to do what they want no matter what anyone tells them, but religion doesn't tell them what to do, it just guides them to do the right thing. I think religion is a unique aspect of culture because most people tend to follow the rules and it is a special thing when so many people abide by the same rules. All of these things strengthen culture by having religion keep everyone unified and strong as a whole.

  10. Religion strengthens a culture by the things you do. Like, the clothes you wear, the type of music you listen to, what you believe in. It is what YOU like. Religion is what they believe in, but it doesn't have to make them believe in it, people are allowed to do whatever they want. This is what makes people different, yet similar. This is also how we meet people, and learn in what they believe in.

  13. Religion strengthens culture for several reasons. To begin, it is probably the most influential thing on culture. Religion is kind of your way of life. Religion tells you when to do things, how to do things, what you can do, what you can't do. For example, certain religions make you fast, others make you eat certain kinds of food. Religion also unifies people. It brings everyone together. People under the same religion also tend to know each other better. And this is how religion strengthens culture.

  14. Religion strengthens a culture by making you diffrent from everyone else. Like the things you eat, the chlothes you wear, where you live, and even the music you listen to. It makes us all unique so we have something diffrent to believe in.

  18. Religion. How may one "Define" the term that has sparked countless controversies, moved and strengthened millions upon millions of people, and even influences dozens of governments and current wars. Religion is an essential factor in culture. It affects what we eat, what we believe in, and how we express it. Religion influences other key components in culture such as "Arts and Literature", "Language", "Customs and Traditions", and occasionally effects the government as well. All in all, Religion effects the lives of every human being, in some forms then others.

  21. Religion strengthens a culture in many different ways. For example, it creates a unifying bond between the followers of the religion. Religion dictates peoples lives sometimes, it states what you can and cannot do. And if enough people are doing the same thing they will become united, which is the whole idea behind religion. Religion is an important part of peoples lives in almost every part of the world.

  22. Culture is made up of more than ideas and objects, it's a way of life. Religion is one of the main elements of culture that strengthens and influences certain aspects of daily life such as: clothing, the foods we eat, and how we behave. Throughout history religious symbols and stories have shaped the arts and architecture of the human world. Religious differences have also been the root of conflict and war against many countries. Beliefs in religion vary in either monotheism or polytheism. Religion also strengthens a culture by answering basic questions about the meaning and purpose of life. Religion certainly strengthens culture but without the other elements, it wouldn't be complete. All the categories that make up culture feed off each other, like a food chain, without one, the others cannot survive.

  29. Religion strengthens a culture because religion brings people together to discuss and learn about the things they believe in. Religion influences the stories that are told from generation to generation, thus making it easier to communicate with people in their own culture. People also build things that are influenced by religion in a certain culture. These areas bring people together to pray and communicate too. Culture is a way of life and religion has a big aspect on it!
