Religion and geography is the study of the impact of geography, i.e. place and space, on religious belief.[1]
Another aspect of the relationship between religion and geography is religious geography, in which geographical ideas are influenced by religion, such as early map-making, and the biblical geography that developed in the 16th century to identify places from the Bible.[2]
