Therefore, the definition of religion varies across disciplines and approaches. Some of its definitions are broad and comprehensive while others are narrow and exclusive. There is a wide range of definitions in various ways. Therefore, each definition can be seen as a way to understand and view the multidimensional meaning and practice of religion.

Another important dimension of religion refers to its structural system with established status, organizational models, and even bureaucratic dilemmas. Religion is also composed of a system of belonging, with friendship networks, group boundaries, and informal norms that may be entirely independent of formal structure or official systems of meaning (Roberts and Yamane 2015).

Therefore, major studies in the sociology of religion define religion in two and sometimes three ways: (1) substantive, (2) functional, and (3) symbolic (Davie 2013). Therefore, in the following sections I will address the basic characteristics of the substantive, functional, and symbolic definitions of
