Every religion has both things and ideas that are sacred, for example: the [[Torah]], [[Bible]] and Qu'ran in the three [[Abraham]]ic 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.

What is sacred to one religion or culture is not necessarily sacred to another, and may even be a profane idea.  Pagans are supposed to have considered non-monogomous sexuality to be sacred.  Christians found that concept to be a profanity against God's [[creation]].
