How was religion related to the daily life of a person?

In ancient times, religion was closely related to the daily activities of a person. The fact is that the lack of a scientific explanation of some natural phenomena forced a person to believe in otherworldly forces, to worship deities. To appease the gods, certain religious rituals were performed from time to time. Sometimes they were associated with the sacrifice of animals or even humans. Various rituals were held in special shrines. In the Middle Ages, there was a cult of God – a supreme being who ruled all destinies.
