Often not always. I mentioned the Roman Catholics do this.
I've never heard any religion define the purpose of the universe.

Call them guidelines, rules, laws, or insert the word of your choice...
Each of those words have different meanings...it would make your life simpler to learn the difference.

What are the Ten Commandments? What is The Bible? What is "Christianity" ??? (Do you just make it up as you go along?)
The Ten Commandments were the rules of a covenant between God and the JEWS.
The Bible is a quasi-historical record of a time span ending thousands of years ago.
Christianity is name given to a vast group of religions that believe Jesus Christ was the son and agent of God.
