Every religion has both things and ideas that are sacred, for example: the [[Torah]], [[Bible]] and Qu'ran in the three [[Abrahamic]] religions, but also, places can be sacred, like [[church]]es, [[mountain]]s where a prophet received his revelation, or cities where the religious leader died.

The concept of "sacred" can be applied to non-religious parts of a culture, if that culture would find them to be held above all else.  In the United States, it could be argued that our the ideas contained in the [[Bill of Rights]] and [[United States Constitution]] are sacred to Americans and should not be changed lightly nor tread upon.
