Summary of Chapter 6, Key Issue 2: Why Do Religions have Different Distributions? We can identify several major geographical differences between universalizing and ethnic religions. These differences include the locations where the religions originated, the processes by which they diffused from their place of origin to other regions, the types of places that are considered holy, the calendar dates identified as important holidays, and attitudes toward modifying the physical environment.
