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.

Religions can do both, as they break apart relationships because of their rules, or people learn about other religions. Sometimes there are wars because people don't like that religion, but there's also peace in this world.

What is the basic idea of Daoism?
Shalnov [3]
The basic idea of the Daoists was to enable people to realize that, since human life is really only a small part of a larger process of nature, the only human actions which ultimately make sense are those which are in accord with the flow of Nature — the Dao or the Way.

The correct answer is Prospect theory effect

Prospect Theory (also called Perspective Theory) is a concept of cognitive psychology that is related to decision making in economic and financial contexts.

According to this theory, people, in general, tend to make choices based on potential losses rather than gains. In other words, the basis of the Prospectus Theory is the tendency that we all have to harbor a certain risk aversion.
