Answer:

depends

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be argued that religious identity may actually precede the development of a religion. Durkheim writes that religion is something eminently social. Instead of focusing on deities and/or supernatural elements, the formation of a religion focuses on collective consciousness and community.
