Caitlin N. How religion affects culture.

            Religion affects culture in some ways. It kind of depends on how strict you are of your religion, because the ones that are more strict can have their culture affected more than a person who doesn't take it all that seriously. Like in some religions you aren't allowed to eat certain types of meat, like  in the Jewish religion they can't eat pigs, so they have to go throughout their lives without having to eat bacon, ham and stuff while we can. Because they think they are dirty and stuff like that. Some Jews do because they aren't as strict as others. 
            In the Muslim religion, they have to fast for a month, so they aren't allowed so eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. That affects the Muslims here because some have sports and school and some are teachers. They have to be careful at practice because they might pass out from not eating or get dehydrated so they might have to break it a little bit and eat or drink. For school they have to sit at lunch, really hungry, and watch other kids eat their lunch and smell the food in the cafetaria. Some kids though don't follow that. It really kind of depends on how strict you are of your religion.
