I think religion has a huge role in society, and it's role is impactful whether you are religious or not. Overtime, it's provided meaning to life as well as many morals and values that people believe in today.

Instead of becoming 'evil' or giving up, people use religion to become better.

Religion benefits society through teaching people how to be a good person. For example, in Christianity it's said that if you're a good person you get to go to heaven. In Hindu, it's said that if you were a good person in your past life you would move up in the caste system in your next life. These factors give people a reason to serve their community and help others.

1. Religion benefits society by increasing the demonstration of morality. It creates the stage for people to be good and offers people instructions for how to do so.
