We study religion to learn about different life styles. “Religion has always been with us. Throughout history, it has expressed the deepest questions human beings can ask, and it has taken a central place in the lives of virtually all civilizations and cultures.

By the third day we knew not go out during that time because they needed that time to pray. We gave them the respect they needed to pray and I would want someone to respect the same for me. As a
