 Some argue that regardless of its definition, it is not appropriate to apply the term religion to non-Western cultures.Others argue that using religion on non-Western cultures distorts what people do and believe.The concept of religion was formed in the 16th and 17th centuries, despite the fact that ancient sacred texts like the Bible, the Quran, and others did not have a word or even a concept of religion in the original languages and neither did the people or the cultures in which these sacred texts were written.
