Language of Religion

I have been contemplating on the relationship between Language and Religion for quite a while. I have not just read on the subject, I have also experienced their interplay throughout my life in various cultures, in various parts of the world. I am convinced that religions evolve as an attempt to meet a society's needs or they are created to meet the needs of the ruling class. A society may need a social, moral or judicial reform or it may require a spiritual pathway...religions have evolved to address all of them. In case of a manufactured religion, the audience are well defined and specific. Since their target is a specific society, religions most often take up the most effective language of that society as their medium of instruction. The language, then, defines the religion and the society which was targeted for the original reform/ manipualtion.
The idea that a language defines a religion is of key importance to my thesis. Societies, being organic in nature, are both complex and dynamic. If differential equations are found to be an effective way to determine the unknowns of a dynamic system, they may be used with the same effectiveness on another dynamic system with similar properties. However a religion, say which evolved for a moral reform of a society, may not necessarily be effective for another society in a similar moral dilemma.
Many religions claim to be 'universal'. Some religions claim to be mere 'philosophies' that can be applied in the private life of any individual or public life of any society to acheive the desired outcome as prescribed by that religion. However the fact remains that each religion is confined to the language in which it is prescribed and therefore the religion has the highest affect on the population that shares its language.
