WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RELIGION INSTITUTION AND A SYSTEM OF BELIEFS?

A religious institution is established as a non profit organization constituted to promote religious purposes or beliefs. To be an institution it is necessary to have a common place to worship the believe god or gods such as churches,temples, synagogues,mosques. All charities supported by religious organizations or societies founded by members of faith can be recognize as a religious institutions. In the other hand, a system of beliefs is a mental assumption, idea or knowledge that one person believe as the truth and assume it as his/her point of view about anything concrete, ex: person,object,group, or about anything abstract,ex:thoughts,theories,information. This system of beliefs that is also call cognitive system, determines how a person uses, filter and receives the information of all the world around them. So we can see that a religion institution is something established where you follow some set rituals and assist to ceremonies and comply with the mandates of that institution while a system of belief is a mental patron that each person decided to follow or believe and it is about anything not only religion, a system of beliefs can be consider more as a style of life.
