religious beliefs
Sacred doctrines held
Religious beliefs are convictions about the divine, sacred, or spiritual—faith in gods, afterlives, souls, moral order, or cosmic purpose.
The term often appears in legal and political contexts where such beliefs receive special protection or consideration: The law prohibits discrimination based on religious beliefs.
Religious beliefs range from formal doctrines of organized religions to personal spiritual convictions held outside institutional frameworks.
