Research on religion and culture from an anthropological point of view is considered the newest approach in religious studies and this approach has formed the foundation of Geertz's studies. Religion has always been evaluated and analyzed as one of the pillars of human life with different approaches and from different points of view such as interpretivism and intra-religious and extra-religious perspectives and many thinkers, within various approaches such as theological, sociological, philosophical and anthropological, have tried to understand the nature of religion, its dimensions and fundamental elements - rites and rituals- from different perspectives and in collective and individual fields. In the meantime, the thought of the most important anthropologist of the present era, namely Clifford Geertz, is of great importance in the formation and development of the anthropology of religion, with his emphasis on his interpretive approach and the use of hermeneutics of Deltay and Ricoeur to understand the cultural system and based on objective observations. Considering the above points, the present article aims to analyze the foundations of Geertz's view on religion, the origin and approach of religion and religious beliefs, and the place of rituals in her view, focusing on her interpretative approach to religion and culture.
