Those underlying contextual references affect how people organize the expressions of their beliefs, values and behaviors. The cultural dimension gives religious expression its particular historical and social form. Diverse cultures give religious life many different forms. The combined experiences of an individual or of a community create a history and affect (or condition) the values, concepts and models for religious self-awareness that are available in any given time and place. Religious expression has been affected by historical changes. Assumptions about life expectancy, social relationships and the production of food that were common in archaic societies were revised in classical traditional societies and again in modern, technological societies.
