More About religion
Long ago, people made up stories to explain life. They thought about the sky, stars, and life after death. These stories grew into religions. Each one is a bit different.
Religion can change how we live each day. It can help us be nice and help others. It can also give us hope when we are sad.
In the future, people may find new ways to share their beliefs. They might mix ideas from different religions. This can help us learn from each other.
