An Ideology is a collection of normative beliefs and values that an individual or group holds for other than purely epistemic reasons.^[1] In other words, these rely on basic assumptions about reality that may or may not have any factual basis.

Religion is a social-cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that relate humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements. However, there is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion.
