Religion was far more important in almost every area of medieval life than it is in most modern societies. A large majority of people in Europe followed the Christian religion under the authority of the Roman Catholic Church. The church in that era had great wealth, political power, and influence over community life, art, architecture, and education.

In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages.

Religion is understood to influence subjective well-being through various ways: the religious community gives people a sense of belonging and provides an important source of social support; religion gives people's lives meaning and purpose; and finally, religion encourages people to lead healthier lifestyles.

People have sought a connection with forces greater than their own. The mysteries and power of the natural world and the wonder of life making more of itself engendered creation stories across civilizations. A desire to touch the infinite and to ponder the unknowable led the human heart and mind to religion—and brought people together for this common purpose. Since time immemorial, the teachers, sages, and prophets of religious faith have set into place ideas about how to live ethically and how to treat others. Religions have long provided a code of ethics within their respective cultures and societies—the earliest laws.

Today, religion is still important in global societies and in our country because communities of worship can provide not only great opportunities for spiritual and emotional growth but also a network of support to people in all phases of their lives. This sense of belonging is essential for human wellbeing.
