                                                    Things that are "common" amongst religion

• There is a "God" or "Devine Beings"
• Afterlife
• Creation
• Place of Worship
• Sense of Community
• Purpose for life- "Why We Are Here"
• Savior
• Lifestyle Choices
• Idea of a soul

These are all things that are common in religion, but not necessarily all religions hold all of these things.
