l find this exceptionally interesting, culture and religion cannot be easily separated. lf am not careful l might actually be found wanting and just assume that these two are actually the same.

Culture focuses mainly from the most physical and rational. With culture there is this feel of things that do not require faith in the unknown but rather the seen.
My culture l can pinpoint like, language, food, habits, educational systems.
This is proof that my culture is very visible and is very effective. l can have a culture that is informed by my face-cut or my etiquette when it comes to my style of speaking.
I don't want to lose you now...
Look at religion as that which is spiritual and rather irrational.
Picture this,, a person praying according to their belief(Muslim to Allah, Christian to God, Inyanga to Spirit Mediums). There is that seriousness that we attach to doing anything religious regardless of what it can vehemently be.
So how do we link these two because they sound so alike.

We can have a religious culture. l know right. Sounds out of this world.But wait for it.
Believe me this is insane but enjoy.
Religious culture is the mix up of the religion and culture and the two can be found in each other.
You can have your religion and and maintain your cultural beliefs and still live a normal life... unless if you have a different definition of culture to religion.
