Religious institution

A religious institution is an organized organization that supports and promotes the beliefs, practices, and traditions of a particular faith or spiritual community. It often includes places of worship, leadership figures like clergy, and activities that foster community and religious education. These institutions help members observe their faith, provide moral guidance, and serve societal needs through charity and outreach. Examples include churches, mosques, temples, and synagogues, all functioning as centers for worship, spiritual growth, and community building within their respective religions.
