From their beliefs about the cosmos and human nature, people may derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle. Minority group is a sociological category within a demographic. The term “minority group” often occurs alongside a discourse of civil rights and collective rights which gained prominence in the 20th century. Minority religion is a religion held by a minority of the population of a country, state, or region. Minority religions may be subject to stigma or discrimination.
