I-INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT:
“ Religion and geography is the study of the impact of geography, i.e. place and space, on
religious belief.”
Whether it is religion or other beliefs, we are influenced by the cultures and regions we are
from. Perhaps unknowingly, geographic factors can shape our beliefs not only in our early life
and development years, but they can also affect us as we move and change where we reside
throughout our lives.

However, we are not hapless victims of our geography and other factors have been shown
to shape beliefs about a variety of topics.
Geography does not only affect where particular religions or belief systems, such as the
world’s major faiths, are located but it can affect how specific beliefs are practiced and
behaviors that it encourages.
Specific beliefs can be influenced by local, geographically-bound networks and those
networks can create a wider cultural understanding where people live in a relatively closed
community practicing given beliefs that are localized to that community or area.
Whether it is religion or other beliefs, we are influenced by the cultures and regions we are
from….Geography does not only affect where particular religions or belief systems, such as
the world’s major faiths, are located but it can affect how specific are practiced and behaviors
that it encourages.
