When  we reverse the discussion, and explore how we can understand the many  ways in which we can explore culture within religion, again the gap  between the two disappears.

Thus,  culture is the medium through which religion is done, and cultural  differences often are the means by which religions differ.

This  can be highlighted by the ways in which we talk about differences  within what we consider the ‘same’ religion (e.g., the differences  within Christianity or within Islam). People live and express different  forms of these religions through their culture differences.
