Religion can be understood as a system of symbols through which individuals and groups express, communicate, and experience meanings about the sacred, the ultimate reality, and the social world. In sociology of religion, symbols are important because religion does not communicate its ideas only through abstract concepts. It uses objects, rituals, gestures, stories, places, images, and practices that represent deeper meanings and connect believers to a shared religious worldview. Clifford Geertz provided one of the most influential interpretations of religion as a symbolic system. According to Geertz, religion is a system of symbols that establishes powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in human beings by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing these conceptions with an aura of factuality.
