The Role of Religion in Shaping Modern Society
In this project, I will analyze on the various religious beliefs and the role they play in shaping the modern day society.

By using both theoretical and analytical techniques, I will be able to present on the impact of the various religious beliefs and events throughout the world (The Buzzle, 2015). The perception of a particular religion by a group of people gives an overview of their connection to the individual beliefs and the effect on their general life.

It has been observed that religious citizens in America are more civically minded and generous neighbors, with about ninety percent of people attending worships donating to charity and of those, 70 percent volunteer for charitable causes. Studies indicate that the effects of religion on society are much more positive than negative; 81 percent showed a positive effect, 15 percent a neutral impact and only 4 percent indicate adverse consequences (HUBBARD,
