Abstract

Religious cosmologies have historically played a crucial role in shaping the worldviews of various civilizations. These cosmologies, often transmitted through sacred texts, oral traditions, and cultural rituals, serve as frameworks through which societies interpret the cosmos, human existence, and the divine. This article explores the influence of religious cosmologies on the development of civilizational worldviews, with particular attention to how these belief systems have shaped societal norms, governance structures, scientific thought, and cultural practices. The study also examines the intersection of religious cosmologies with philosophical and political ideologies, emphasizing their continuing relevance in contemporary global discourse.
