Religion

Religious beliefs have had a decisive influence in the development of different societies. Primitive communities, with their multitude of gods, many of them related to natural phenomena, used religion to establish moral principles, a cosmovision of the universe and the origin of life. Religions were transformed as societies were developing. From the ancient polytheistic religious systems, we arrive at the different beliefs that place their faith in the existence of a unique god.
