value of religion

how is religion responding to live wires like rights,race relations and violence extremism? how will new trend in religion affiliation affect the relationship between religion and politics?
depending on my point of view religion is the source of values like compassion and social justice that are essential to the harmonious co-existence of diverse groups in any given society it provides
the rationalization for intorelance and injustice towards"the others"which is the root of conflict and suffering
reality of coarse is much more complicated than eighther perspective
  in any case religious beliefs and beliefs about religion innevitably shape social values and political power in both the secular societies of the global north and the deeply religious cultures of the global south .explore the relationships between social and political issues from economic inequality to immigration

economic inequality is both a social value that people of faith feel called to address and a reality that shapes religious communities ,for example, among people living in poverty it is witnessed the selfless services of catholic nuns in african slums aswell as religious "nones" to find meaning in their efforts to help the poor on their own backyard.                                                                
in its relations to economic inequity religion can eigther be the opiate of the people or the agent of social change. mosqoes  and temples are growing rapidly while churches remain popular even as many second and third generation opt out of religion all together 
at the same time many religious communities have taken a leading role in advocating for immgration. reform faith based groups organize marches for immigrants, lawyers help refugees with asylum congregations over sanctuary to undocumented families 

religious instructions are always at the center of the immigrants lives because that is where they can find community and support in their new home.
