One way religion influences a culture is through holidays. Christmas is a holiday every religion and culture celebrate, except Judiasm, and when we celecrate Jesus' birthday. An example of this is if you are an Irish Catholic. St. Patrick's Day is a big thing to most Irish people that are really in to their culture. And Thanksgiving is a day every American celebrates and Catholics believe that is the day to thank God for giving them another year to live and for everything in our lives.
Another way religion influences a culture is through Freedom of Religion. Some people don't agree that anyone can pray where ever they want. And that people can choose what religion they want to be and practice. Others might not like what religion is in their family so they pick a religion and practice that instead of what is in their family. But of course others don't agree and say that you should just stay in what religion is in their family.
