Asap! why is religion important to people around the world and to what extent are the major world religions similar?

Religion is something that people can believe in, and it gives us hope. When we believe in something, there’s a reason for everything, and that is comforting. It also (to everyone) creates a sense of culture and belongingness for groups of people. Whether monotheistic or polytheistic, they all believe in a God, someone that is a higher being with power.
