Religion as living as geography is the study of the affect of geography, i.e. place together with space, on religious belief.
Another aspect of a relationship between religion and geography is religious geography, in which geographical ideas are influenced by religion, such(a) as early map-making, and the biblical geography that developed in the 16th century to identify places from the Bible.
Religion may be a starting item to examine issues of ethnic identity configuration and the construction of ethnic identity Geographers studying the negotiations of religious identity within various communities are often concerned with the overt articulation of religious identity, for example, how adherents in different locations build their distinctive religious and cultural identities through their own understandings of the religion, and how they externally exposed their religious adherence in terms of religious practice, ritual and behaviour. As an overarching theme, the articulation of religious identity is concerned with material aspects of symbolizing religious identity such as architecture and the build of a physical presence, with negotiations and struggles in asserting religious identity in the face of persecution and exclusion and with personal practices of religious ritual and behaviour that re-establishes one’s religious identity
