Religion Culture Connection

Daniel makes a comment about the relationship between culture and religion of Etheopia that argues that the religion in Etheopia developed out of the culture. I would agree with this in that the rules established through the religion serve the purpose of justifying and further solidifying the legitimacy of the way of life in Etheopia. I think that the relationship between religion and culture should be strongly connected in almost any society. The way that people live their lives is never going to be correct to everybody but people can feel ok about the things that they do by turning to the 'book' that they follow. Every religion has its own rules and guidelines as to what is morally right and good, as does every society guided by its government. The more closely related the government/culture and the religion followed by the people within the government, the better the people of the society get along and more smoothly the society runs.
