Religion

Atlas of religions

English Religion is the adherence to codified beliefs and rituals that (generally) involve a faith in a spiritual nature and a study of inherited ancestral traditions, knowledge and wisdom related to understanding human life. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to faith as well as to the larger shared systems of belief.
espanol La religion es, segun G. Lenski, un sistema compartido de creencias y practicas asociadas, que se articula entorno a la naturaleza de las fuerzas que configuran el destino de los seres humanos.
francais Le terme religion designe un ensemble de rites, croyances, regles ethiques et pratiques, voire de dogmes, adoptes par une societe, un groupe ou un individu. La religion est le plus souvent en rapport avec une notion de divinite ou de realite transcendante. Le terme religion naturelle, cependant, designe une doctrine qui s'appuie sur les seules inspirations de la raison et du cœur. On designe souvent par religion les pratiques et rituels d'une communaute sociale.
русский Рели?гия ? особая форма осознания мира, обусловленная верой в сверхъестественное, включающая в себя свод моральных норм и типов поведения, обрядов, культовых действий и объединение людей в организации (церковь, религиозную общину). Основы религиозных представлений, как правило, записаны в священных книгах, по убеждению сторонников религии либо продиктованных непосредственно богом, либо написанных людьми, достигшими с точки зрения данной религии высшего уровня духовного развития. Большинство религий поддерживаются профессиональными священослужителями.
