Question

Construct an argument for or against the following statement: Religion is more influential in shaping a culture or society than government. I just want a small summary to work off of that's all

Answer 1

Religion has been more influential in shaping culture than a government.  During the early years of colonization, religion played a role to make the people submit themselves. The culture of subservience was easily used by the clergy, in other words, the people's faith had become a tool to easily expand the lands of Europe.
