All Religions of The World are Different and have
different Religious Communities

• Just want to state that religion is both
  influenced by society and influences society.
  Every sociologist has different views and
  thoughts about religions and their communities.
  Some sociologist suggest that religion reflects
  the power structure and value of a society and
  some says that religion can and does shape the
  values and power structure of society. In many
  cases, it is impossible to isolate "religion" as
  a separate, independent component in contrast to
  "society."  In almost all cases, there is a
  reciprocal relationship between religion and
  society.  Each influences and is shaped by the
  other. Each religion and community has its own
  structure and values.

Different Types of Religion and Community

Natural community

• In natural religious communities, there is little
  or no distinction between the religious and "non
  religious" life of the community.  Indeed, every
  aspect of the natural community including its
  attitude toward family, its economic system and
  its power structure, is a manifestation of
  religious belief and practice. In short, there is
  no distinction between culture and religion.  The
  main characteristics of the natural community
  are
• The natural community is based on kinship ties,
  race, nationality, language or geography.  One is
  usually born into the community and does not make
  a conscious choice to "join" the community.
  Moreover, there is often little or no emphasis on
  evangelizing to increase the size of the
  community
• The natural community emphasizes activities that
  strengthen ties of kinship. Consequently,  one is
  likely to find an emphasis on rites of passage or
  ancestor worship as a way of maintaining family
  bonds across the generations.

Voluntary religious Communities

• A voluntary religious community is  built on
  common beliefs, special functions, or sacred
  powers that extend beyond natural ties of kinship
  and geography. One must make a conscious
  decision to join a voluntary religious community.
  Often, one is admitted to such a community only
  after instruction and a public announcement of
  one's decision. Voluntary religious communities
  often arise out of a dissatisfaction with the
  traditional, natural religious community. Unlike
  the natural community, rites of passage and
  ancestor worship play almost no role.

Founded religions

• are a type of voluntary religious community. As
  its name suggests, a founded religion is one that
  is established by a charismatic (gifted) leader
  who is a witness or bearer of new spiritual
  insight or revelation.
• Goreligion gives the idea to share and exchange
  information with others between all religions
  of the world .Goreligion mission is for the
