Gender in religion
All over the world, religion is formed
around a divine, supernatural figure. While
the idea of the divine, supernatural figure
varies from religion to religion, each one is
framed around different concepts of what
it means to be male and female.
Furthermore, the religion of a culture
usually directly corresponds or is
influenced by the culture's gender
structure, like the family structures and/or
the state. Therefore the religious structure
and the gender structure work together to
form and define a culture, creating the
defining structures of equality and
uniformity.[9]
