Is religion part of culture or culture part of religion?

I see both sides somewhat, but I believe culture is part of religion...
Also, because I say tattoos are wrong, how is this part of my culture? A buddy of mine seems to think that because I think tattoos are wrong, (because the Bible say so) that it's part of my culture.... but I don't think that because I believe tattoos are wrong, that it is because of my culture..

Essentially, both.

Many cultures grow out of religion, while in some instances, culture influences religion, as in the adoption of an English version of the mass among Catholics in the United States.

The influences tend to be general and not specific (like tattoos).
