Religion should offer multiple personal and social necessities for an individual, as well as act as a binding between a community or group of people. Religion should serve individuals to help them with the multiple questions of morality. It should also allow one to connect to the divine source in which they worship. Religion may also act as a way to bring a community or group of people together in some social manner. The idea of religion differs between cultures, communities, or even individuals. This difference in ideas may lead to disagreements in ideas, which may then escalade to something more dramatic. In all, religion should function to serve individuals and groups of people with multiple facets of life including social, personal, and moral issues without affecting the free will or lives of the people around them.
Religion should help individuals with the moral issues that they must face everyday. This may include the idea of right and wrong as well as the interaction with other religions and their ideologies. This idea may also include the idea of mortality and facing the fact that each individual must die. Religion helps these individuals deal with this idea of morality and death, by showing them that this isn't just the end of their existence. Many individuals may turn to religion to answers some of the fundamental moral issues and questions that they must face each and every day of their lives. It may give them a purpose in their lives. So, religion becomes a basis for the decisions and ideas that people make and have each and every day.
Another facet of religion should include a way for individuals or groups of individuals to worship the "divine source" or perform the sacred practices of that religion in some way or fashion. This may include some form of artistic expression such as art, music, architecture, or even dance to display the devotion to the religion or spiritually connect that person to their "divine source".
