us, which inform our every thought and action. A worldview is how a culture works out in individual
practice. In simple words, this is a combination of belief systems.

confidence in belief. Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the
conviction of things not seen.” the central feature of faith is confidence or trust.

like praying or performing acts of worship in a structure like a church or temple It helps people make
sense of the world, find meaning in life, and provides guidelines for how they should live and

belief systems; religion is having faith but faith is not exclusive to religion because faith can grow
outside of any religion.
