religious traditions

Inherited spiritual customs

Religious traditions are the established practices, beliefs, rituals, and customs passed down within faith communities across generations.

The phrase encompasses both major world religions and smaller spiritual systems: Many religious traditions observe periods of fasting, She was raised in the religious traditions of her ancestors.

The plural form often appears in academic or interfaith contexts to acknowledge diversity without privileging any single faith.
