Ethnic versus Religious

Ethnic Groups: share many common characteristics, such as language,
physical appearance, customs, and traditions.
Religious Groups: Share a common belief system, but are not necessarily
composed of a single ethnic group. Examples: Different types of people can
be Christian; Christians can be different colors, speak different languages,
and be from different countries.
