This post is basically to state what I believe should hold more importance for us when it comes to this topic.
Culture is basically something that certain people carry for example their way of living, their laws, values, knowledge, clothing, food etc.
Religion means having a meaning to life, following rules and basing your life around what makes you apart of that belief. It helps to structure your life style and gives you an understanding of where you want to go in life.
Our culture is based on where and how we are brought up, sometimes people tend to let culture take a more important role in their lives than religion. Personally I would say that makes things more difficult, as beliefs would start to clash and confuse most. How ever there are some that would disagree and find that culture and religion work perfectly fine together as culture is a part of religion.
Most people find that basing their lives around religion causes differences amongst each other and causes arguments, I would say that following no religion would actually cause more fights and separations as people would want to have their ways and put their believes forward.
Imagine playing a game with out any rules or instructions , it would be hard, boring and on going. Having no religion would be similar as religion gives us rules to follow, support, background, identity, understanding and it gives us something to stand for.
As people are from different corners of the globe, we all have different ideas and understandings of things. This is where culture comes in, people bring up an idea/saying which is passed on from generations and they hold this with themselves as if it is something as important as religion. Culture is sort of like religion as some cultures instruct the same things as religions, but in different ways.
Lastly, when people are in trouble or are in some sort of bad situation. We mainly depend on someone to be there for us as we need support and someone to turn to for advice. If we are to turn to culture, we basically turn to man made advice, how ever if we are to turn to religion we ask for guidance from the one and only God. He who knows all and sees all.
Putting culture higher or religion is actually up to the person themselves, but remember basing your life around religion makes it much easier as everything is already there for you unlike culture which always changes and confuses some.
Hope this helped, just to let you know my aim isn't to offend anyone. This is just to help those who get confused when it comes to this topic.
Jazakallah
