H. Making generalizations and abstractions about

the lesson.
 Geography and religion affect one another.
Geographical makeup can dictate and shape religious
customs and practices. On the other hand, religion can
affect changes to geographical contours of the region
by imposing its own systems of beliefs on the practices
of people living in the said region.
Geography and culture are inseparable
phenomena. Geography provides the space to form
cultural norms, while culture carries important facts and
information about the geographical setting or condition
of a region.
The spread of religion around the world today is
due to various complex forces such as geographical
hospitability. More than the economic and political
considerations, the reason for the increasing migration
rates is the topography and habitability of the region.
People do not migrate only for the religion’s sake but
for the nonreligious reasons. This includes economic,
political, social, and geographical reasons.
