discuss What's The Connection Between Faith and Social Justice?

[Unvarnished]

Most religions have several principles and one of them is compassion, equality and fairness. Religion motivates people to strive for successful implementation of values such as justice and tolerance. Whether it is about people’s rights or the preservation of natural resources, faith takes an important position.

I don't see how faith connects with social justice. I believe religion is one of the main reasons that introduced a series of subjugation. Just read the history of every religion you can think of, and you will understand what I mean.

Yes we have seen some religions have contributed to injustices but on the other hand most religions actually advocated for the oppressed. In fact, many religious men and scholars have led movements socially, for example the Civil Rights Movement in America which was spearhead by Christian Ministers including Martin Luther King Junior is one to mention.

Some religions! Really?
Just read historical account of all religions you can think of?
But I do agree that some people have actually used religion to help people

Not all religions preach social justice. In fact, most religions are oppressive to a particular group p people. It could be gender based oppression or sect based oppression. Religion doesn't have a balance of social justice.

 

[King Belieal]

Religion is the last place you would find social justice in its truest state. Religions fan the embers of oppression. They are capitalists in nature always seeking for their advantage regardless of who would be trampled on. And I mean all the religions of the world.
