    CHAPTER 6: ETHICS AND RELIGION

    Activity 5: Ethics and Religion

    Answer the activity in Ethics Flourishing Life by Dr. Gleemore C. Makie.

    A. Religion and Ethics (p. 302)

    Religion serves several functions for society. These include (a)


    giving meaning and purpose to life, (b) reinforcing social unity
    and stability, (c) serving as an agent of social control of behavior,
    (d) promoting physical and psychological well-being, and (e)
    motivating people to work for positive social change. Religion
    gives people something to believe in, provides a sense of
    structure and typically offers a group of people to connect with
    over similar beliefs. These facets can have a large positive impact
    on mental health — research suggests that religiosity reduces
    suicide rates, alcoholism and drug use.
