]]> 2025-05-12 19:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/elaine_grant/x6zop63vfjk2gr3n/wish/3447060243 The role of religion in society is to create a way of living that people follow and look to for answers. The world is confusing and can be full of hard moments, religion is a tool humans use to fight that confusion and explain those hardships. https://padlet.com/elaine_grant/x6zop63vfjk2gr3n/wish/3447060299 2025-05-12 19:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/elaine_grant/x6zop63vfjk2gr3n/wish/3447060299 goodrpai000 https://padlet.com/elaine_grant/x6zop63vfjk2gr3n/wish/3447061504 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. It's also influenced social structures in a way I think, and it gets more strict depending on what country you live in. Some countries/areas are extremely religious and it can affect your everyday life compared to others.

]]> 2025-05-12 19:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/elaine_grant/x6zop63vfjk2gr3n/wish/3447062173 I believe that religion is important in society because it provides answers for people. These answers and religious truth really heal people and their worries. Personally, it has not had this effect for me but I know it has for others. It has been known to save people's lives in their darkest moments. Instead of becoming 'evil' or giving up, people use religion to become better. https://padlet.com/elaine_grant/x6zop63vfjk2gr3n/wish/3447062894 2025-05-12 19:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elaine_grant/x6zop63vfjk2gr3n/wish/3447062894 https://padlet.com/elaine_grant/x6zop63vfjk2gr3n/wish/3447062903 The role of religion is to find the purpose of life and motivate you positively.

It also can be what provides people with meaning for their lives and how they view the world, and a lot of time religious leaders greatly affect the society of that religion as well.

Even if you aren't religious, there are many reasons for life, but religion holds them up. It also stabilizes society, we need something to look up to and hold us together. Not everyone has the same beliefs, which makes it even more important.

For example, in Christianity it's said that if you're a good person you get to go to heaven.

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.


    2.Religion benefits society through the creation of community. Humans are social creatures and religion offers that social community. It opens its arms to anyone who wants to join in the belief, which really heals and helps people. It brings humans together and in some churches, even helps them in their needs. ( free food, charity, school, etc)

It also tends to leave me isolated when I participated in community events or go to family gatherings. -Gavin
