Community and society

"Community" should be understood to be the communal living of people on the basis of a common religion, or a shared idea. Consequently, community is based on mutual agreement. Society, however, is primarily about mutual oppositions and their articulation. Divided societies crave the restoration of their old close-knit communities. Something similar applies to culture and civilization. "Culture" is on the level of "community" and "civilization" on that of "society".
