Relationship between 'race' and religion in law

Homoreligiosus is the term applied to a species that makes religions. From the time of the Neanderthals, some funeral rites were performed when a member of the tribe died. The member was buried in a certain way to fulfill a ritual of religious principles developed in a systematic way to deal with death. Religious rituals were carried out in all corners of the earth during the past 100,000 years. These religious rituals were carried out in different ways, which eventually became tradition. Then, with the growing demands of increasingly complex societies, these religious traditions became religious systems. And we are all influenced by religious systems, if we consider ourselves to be religious or not, because the religious system is an integral part of society.

Our lives are influenced by other systems in our society, and society of others, as the health system, the monetary system, political system, the defense of the protection system, the legal system and many others.

Mao declared that "religion is poison." Again, the suppression of the religious system led to some of the traditions of taking a defensive posture, but even that went underground at the time of 1957-1958, and again during the Cultural Revolution of 1966-76. However, since 1987, the religious establishment has tolerated more in communist China.

Between the two polarities is the relationship between the legal system and the religious system, where the two systems coexist both the Constitution and voluntarily.
