  • they have millions of followers all believing the same thing
  • Religion can also be a dividing force around the world

  • there are conflicts between Catholics and Protestants (Two forms of Christianity) in Northern Ireland
  • Jews, Christians and Muslims all claim Jerusalem as their religions holy site. They are constantly fighting over the land.
  • Spatial divisions are how we divide the livable space found on the earth by establishing social, economic, and political control
  • you can be the member of more than one spatial group
