Laws and social norms vary by region and localities. The study about geography of religion may reveal
some fascinating truths why a certain country is predominated by one particular religion or why a specific
region became homeland of great religions. West Asia is home of three great religions namely, Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam. Comprising the area bordered on the west by the fertile coasts of the
Mediterranean Sea and on the east by the arid deserts of Arabia, the history of these religions is closely
linked with the region. The topography of West Asia is characterized by vast areas of mountainous
terrains. Mountains play significant roles in many religious beliefs as these landforms provide ideal setting
where gods live or where gods and mortals meet.
