2. What is Religion?  As defined by Wikipedia, religion is an organized set of beliefs and cultural systems that relate humanity in our order of existence.  In fact, religion is taught to us by the people that surround us and in this way, we have the chance to learn it by heart and by soul.  We may also share the same religion with our friends and neighbors.  There may be different types of religion that exist in our world, but all of us adore and praise only the same God.
