Abstract


Culture is a total way of life of everyone in a society. Every human in a society is under a set of rules, regulations, behaviour, mindset and even materials for a way of living. The concept of culture is a debatable discussion among many scholars but every society and scholar agree on the existence of culture. Thus culture is a universal phenomenon found everywhere but in different formats, thus culture changes over time and the causes of its changes usually account for the external factors accepted by an individual or group of people under the same culture. This paper seeks to highlight religion as a key factor controlling culture and influencing other parts of culture in a given society.
