Ritualism
Ritualism is a belief system that emphasizes the importance of rituals in religious or cultural practices. It focuses on the prescribed actions, ceremonies, and symbols that are performed in a specific manner, often to convey meaning or connect with the divine. Rituals can vary widely across different cultures and religions, such as Christianity, Hinduism, or Indigenous traditions.
In ritualism, the act of performing rituals is seen as essential for maintaining spiritual or social order. Adherents believe that these practices can foster community, reinforce values, and provide a sense of belonging. The significance of rituals often lies not just in their content, but in their consistent execution and the shared experience they create among participants.
