Religion and Belief
The ways people understand the world and their place in it through faith in gods, spirits, or sacred teachings.
What is it?
Religion and belief are systems of faith that help people make sense of life. They include stories, rituals, and rules for living. Many religions have saints, prophets, or holy books. In medieval Europe, Christianity was the main religion, and saints like Christopher were very important. People built churches and made art to show their faith.
