Можно сказать, что ранее религия определяла культуру и была ее центром, раньше все культурные обряды были религиозными имели божественный смысл, люди призывали урожай, удачу на охоте, нужные погодные условия, рисовали, основываясь на религии, делали скульптуры и пели религиозные песни, религия имела прикладную ценность, вокруг нее строилось общество, а значит и ранняя культура. По истечении лет культура, которая осталась внутри религии, называется религиозной и все еще занимает большое место в жизни верующих людей.

Они очень сильно связаны, так как после многих веков повальной религиозности и по сути власти религиозных институтов над всеми государствами и всеми людьми, иначе просто быть не могло - все понятия, которыми оперируют современные культуры, так или иначе, но берут своё начало в религиозных представлениях людей этой культуры. Вот, в случае с христианством хотя бы понятия добра-зла, нравственности-безнравственности - всё это строится на христианском менталитете, даже если человек неверующий сам по себе.

After my hard and busy school year my summer holidays began (Past Simple Active). I felt (Past Simple Active) happy when hard and busy school year finished (Past Simple Active) and summer holidays began (Past Simple Active). I started  (Past Simple Active) to plan a lot of wonderful things to do during my summer vocation.
I was dreaming (Past Continuous Active) about visiting far south countries I always wanted (Past Simple Active) to visit. For example, I dreamed (Past Simple Active) to visit, Greece islands or Spanish beaches. But I had to go (Past Simple Active) to the Azov Sea seaside with my parents. The water was very warm (Past Simple Active) there, because the Sea of Azov isn't deep. (Present Simple Active) There were (Past Simple Active) different kinds of entertainments there. Best of all I liked (Past Simpe Active) water scooters and discos.
There was (Past Simple Active) nothing to do all day except taking sunbathes and swimming. I was playing (Past Continuous Active) with my little sister on the sand and taught (Past Simple Active) her to swim. Later, I returned (Past Simple Active) home and spent (Past Simple Active) some time there going out with my friends, reading, listening to the music, watching TV and playing computer games. After that I went (Past Simple Active) to the sport camp where I spent (Past Simple Active) twenty days with my friends.
It was very useful experience (Past Simple Active) for us, because we had to get up (Past Simple Active) very early, to train a lot. But it made (Past Simple Active) us stronger and healthier.
I was very happy (Past Simple Active) to return home and to spend several days in my summer cottage, where I had (Past Simple Active) a rest helping my grandfather to dig the garden, to irrigate plants and to gather fruit and vegetables. I was fishing (Past Continuous Active) with my grandfather sometimes and we cooked (Past Simple Active) our fish together.
Only insects were spoiling (Past Continuous Active) my good humour. I was enjoying (Past Continuous Active) floating in the boat, swimming and helping my grandparents.
During my summer holidays I made (Past Simple Active) new friends, read (Past Simple Active) a lot of interesting books, knew (Past Simple Active) many useful things. Now, I feel (Present Simple Active) ready to get back to school.
I am happy (Present Simple Active) to meet my school friends and teachers.
