    Throughout history, religion has been a driving force of practically every aspect of life for nearly every single society ever to have existed. For most community-based societies, such as the tribes of Indigenous Americans, religion is also found to be community-based and stresses cooperation over dominance of any sort, which in turn leads the economical structure of the society to be community-based, allowing for each member of the community to have an equal share of the resources available.
