Knowledge of the religious background of the population helps us better understand the economic and social geography of different countries of the world. The role of religion in society today continues to be very significant.

Even in primitive society the simplest forms of religious beliefs emerged: totemism, magic, fetishism, animism, and the cult of ancestors. (Some elementary religions have survived to this day. For example, totemism was widespread among the aborigines of Australia, the Melanesians, and the American Indians.)

Later, complex forms of religions emerged. They emerged most often among a single people, or among a group of peoples united in a state (this is how local religions emerged – Judaism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Confucianism, Taoism, etc.). Some of the religions have spread among the peoples of different countries and continents. These are the world religions of Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity.
