Religion and Culture: An Evaluation

Culture and religion may be conduct and control of our human life. It can bring people together for co-operation and lead their social life. Culture defines the social forces within a community involving its conventions for behaviour forms of entertainment that keep the community together like music, dancing and so on. Religion defines how the community members interpret their role in the universe based on the local culture, so that different religious rise out of different cultures. These two terms (Religion and culture) focus on the critical study of culture with specific attention to the position of religion within modernity. The aim of this paper is to show that, the theoretical basis of religion and culture is informed not only by the western philosophical tradition but also by a broader range of intellectual traditions, incorporating the perspectives of ethnography, critical theory and contemporary cultural criticism and their relation.
