Answer to Question 1

Answer: Most landscapes reveal the predominant local religion. The architectural styles of houses of worship, monasteries, and similar institutions are often revealing, for example Muslim mosques usually have freestanding towers, called minarets. Pilgrimage destinations and long-standing religious sites attract many visitors and help connect members of a religion with others in their wider community of believers. Religions recognize different holidays and pace human activities through the year differently, which is often reflected in national laws across religious realms. Religions practice burial customs that create different mortuary landscapes. Hindus and Buddhists cremate their dead, whereas Christians and Muslims usually bury their dead and erect monuments to them. Different religions teach different beliefs concerning the sacredness of plant and animal life, and this affects the farming and dietary practices of their adherents.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: They combine elements of two or more religions and they include Voodoo and Santeria.
