Influence of Religion on Culture

Religion can influence culture in many ways. Some religions might speak a certain religion so anyone of that religion will most likely speak the language. If the religion spreads out across a region, the language of the religion will also spread across the region and effect other cultures. In some religions you are not allowed to eat certain foods so the culture will be effected in what the people eat and don't eat.
