PEOPLE & BELIEFS. What groups of people are involved? What do they believe?

I am not sure if this is going to help bc I didn't fully understand your question. But here I go.

Explanation: "Every culture has myths, stories, legends and folklore. They show what different communities and groups of people think about the world and the way they perceive it. Oral arts and traditions are a way to preserve and transmit customs and values as well as to shape behavior. An interesting discovery about myths in cultures is that there are universal myths that are common to different cultures all around the world. These similarities relate to images, narrative structures, events and characters that created to answer the most common questions that humans usually have, such as the origin of the universe and the meaning of life. For example, similar myths and legends about epic cosmic battles or a Great Flood are similar in Christian and Jewish tradition, as well as in Sumerian, Greek, Hindu, Mayan, and Native American legends. The most similar belief in all cultures is the existence of a great supreme being that created everything."

i didnot understand ur question properly, but i hope this helps:

Few people follow more than one religion at a time. The largest religions are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Sikhism, Judaism and Jainism. There are many other religions. People who do not believe in any gods are called atheists.

manifest functions are the recognized and intended consequences of any social pattern, while latent functions are those unrecognized and unintended consequences. to analyze the manifest functions of any social institution, we have to study its contribution to the continuation of a group, community, or society.
