Purpose of religion

.
We have a lot of similarities and want to get to know each other more.
Hey dad, I was wondering if I could have a sleepover with Zoe in my math class.
Oh, okay I don't see why not. What similarities sweetie.
.
Oh that great, I'm glad you have a friend.
She's islam dad! We are the only ones in class who wear hijabs, so we were talking a lot about that.
.
I have a question thought, what do religions mean anyways? Why are they so important?
Yes, during class we talked about it.
Good question.
