For those who want to understand relatively religious world, it is essential to understand universalism deeply. Understanding of universalism is indispensable as it tries to expand a relatively narrow religious doctrine by pointing out the common points of each religion.

Therefore, anthropologists, theologians, and scholars are trying to incorporate the concept of "organization" into the definition of religion itself. Some examples are provided in the definition provided by Clifford Geertz which defines religion as "Cultural System". In addition, the definition of Max Weber's remarkable religion includes the notion of "church", not necessarily a Christian form but an organizational hierarchy concept that constitutes a clear religious group. Therefore it is clear that "organized religion" is also considered part of religious definition itself.

In fact, by looking at the history of this word, we can see that it is never a global term, but a universally applicable term made by the West. At first it is impossible at the beginning of such a presentation to say Max Weber's word "define religion" and what it is. Religion But so far, there is no suitable definition for all parties, but despite this problem, certain cultural life can be clearly identified as "religion" compared to other cultural practices (Flood, 1999: 42) The purpose of this research is to analyze whether it is legal to incorporate capitalism into these forms of cultural life.
