Cultures are most of the time passed down from generation to generation and can also make religious practices, language, mythology, tradition, arts and political institutions or practices in the time of the generations are being passed down. While religious practice feature of a person's culture, a larger opinion of the culture as a whole.
Throughout history Religion has had a major reflection on almost every type of culture. While religious practice may represent one aspect of a peoples culture, a larger assessment of the culture as a whole will include many other considerations.

A person who pleasures in the religion of their choice can add that decisions and crossroads that they are a reflection of their religion. Since these people are in the culture, their actions and reasoning also to culture and shape the image it is today. Religion often plays a very large part in culture.
