Think stories. This describes the storytelling aspect of religion whether the stories are believed true, fictitious, historical, or mythological. Religions are \n sustained through the practice of repeating narratives that help to explain why the world exists \n and what our place is in it. They can store information in symbols without stating the underlying meaning outright and can help to communicate across generations important ideas about what it means to be human. These can be pictorial, oral, written, etc. We have stories about great leaders and founders like Moses, Muhammad, Buddha, we have stories about the creation of the world, we have myths about the actions of the gods.
