organizations (religious)

Religious organizations are structured groups that unite people sharing common beliefs about spirituality, morality, and the divine. They can range from large institutions, like major world religions (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism), to smaller communities or sects. These organizations often provide a framework for worship, community services, and moral guidance, facilitating social connections and fostering a sense of belonging among members. They may hold regular services, education programs, and charitable activities, and are often involved in broader societal issues, promoting values such as compassion, justice, and peace.
