Religion is a belief system that consists of a set of common myths, rites, practices, sacred texts, and ethics that tends to organize large human groups based on the belief of a transcendental or spiritual order to which that particular group, or the entire humanity, is linked.
In this sense, religion works as an ideology through which large groups of people who do not know each other can cooperate together towards one particular goal. Throughout history, religion worked as an amalgam for large groups to set a common ground of understanding, belief, and moral. It made possible, for example, for ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids, and in general, it provided a supernatural justification for the political order, and it prompted the emergence of big empires that extended in space and time.
However, since there were many religions throughout the world and throughout history, and since most of the great religions have a universal vocation, they tended to collide between them in order to impose their particular worldview. In this sense, religion creates more space between people and, often, they give reasons for religious wars.

Answer: they could not promote national unity sufficiently but they formed a stronger federal government.
Explanation: The Federalist administrations of George Washington and John Adams could not sufficiently promote national unity because of the conflicting beliefs of their political parties. John Adams was elected and served two terms under George Washington as vice President and a single term as President. Both men had great passion for the Republic but were different in many ways.
They were however able to form a stronger and more authoritative federal government. They achieved this through the enforcement of taxes and enactment of several laws; in this they found common ground which strenghtened the powers of the federal government.
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Mandy, a true believer in astrology, reads in her horoscope that today is her lucky day. She gets so excited that she spills coffee all over herself, necessitating a change of clothes. As a result, she is late for work and for a very important meeting, which in turn gets her into serious trouble with her boss. That evening, her brother is taken to the emergency room. On her way to visit him, Mandy finds a dime in the hospital parking lot. What does research on the confirmation bias suggest that Mandy will do?
A) Mandy will renounce astrology as completely wrong because of all the horrible things that happened on her "lucky day."
B) Mandy will begin to question her belief in astrology because of all the horrible things that happened on her "lucky day."
C) Mandy will forget finding the dime because of the all the horrible things that happened to her.
D) Mandy will seize on the dime she found as evidence of astrology’s accuracy.
Answer:
D) Mandy will seize on the dime she found as evidence of astrology’s accuracy.
Explanation:
In psychology, confirmation bias refers to our tendency to look for things and signs that will confirm what we already believe in. According to research in this area, we are biased in our beliefs and tend to ignore any information that may challenge them. As a result, our judgment will be degraded. Mandy will most likely, according to confirmation bias, ignore all of the bad things that took place after she read her horoscope. She will pay attention, however, to the one tiny event that somehow confirms her belief. She will seize on the dime she found as evidence of astrology's accuracy.
