Religion: Human beings' relation to that which they regard as holy, scared, absolute, spiritual, divine, or worthy of especial reverence. It is also commonly regarded as consisting of the way people deal with ultimate concerns about their lives and their fate after death. These concerns are expressed in terms of one's relationship with or attitude toward gods or spirits, while more humanistic or naturalistic forms of religion are expressed in terms of one’s relationship with or attitudes toward the broader human community or the natural world. Scared texts, prayers, meditation, or particular rituals are also often used by both believers and worshipers of a variety of religions. Worship, moral conduct, right belief, and participation in religious institutions are among the constituent elements of religious life.
