Explanation / Answer

The religious views depends on the cultural and social development of any society, every religion has a distinct view towards religion and these views belongs to needs and opportunities for further expansion of religious views. The Prothero vies defines the central problems and relation between humanity while religion is not only belong to central problems, sometimes it developed by social needs and geographical conditions.

If we think about civilizations we can get religious views and beliefs and before civilization we can see the connection between geographical conditions and religious development.

The similarities in religion depends on various factors and that factors are not constant. Dynamic progress of religious developments belongs to human struggle and for the struggle we experienced the need of psychological leader.

So I can say that every religion either from west or east experienced same type of human struggle. Religious traditions always seems to be close to humanity, tradition developments can occur by various factors. Our traditional religious development varies from person to person and need to need, we cannot define the criteria of religious development.

          Religious development depends on various factor and the human struggle is one of the mutual factor which belong to traditional developments.
