Religion

From the first day of human existence on the Earth a need for understanding the things and thoughts beyond his power of control and rule appeared. Through the whole time of existence people developed all kind of different beliefs to explain their behavior, moral and ethics. When a number of people start to live, believe in, and exercise the same sets of behavioral, moral and ethical beliefs a religion is formed.
