It dawned on me to ask what religion has to do with society or culture? Wouldn't an appropriate place be amongst cults or clubs or religion on it's own standing?
What contribution has religion made to society? Which artists, scientists,entertainers,composers, phychologists?
What contribution? Even the book is clearly in question. see http://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com for clarification.

Religion has definitely had a major influence in the societies and cultures of the world... art, history, war, law, dress, behavior, diet, marriage concepts, child-rearing concepts, and even in the way we count the years. Even the names for the days of the week (at least in many languages) are derived from the names of gods and goddesses.
Now, whether one sees the contributions of religion to society as negative or positive, that is an entirely different matter and a very personal one. But, they are still contributions that the vast majority of humans experience daily.

Religion is a topic of interest and it had to be categorized some way. This way was probably the most convenient and logical. It has to do with society and is studied by sociologists. Religion has to do with every culture and is studied by cultural anthropologists. Psychologists recognize the importance of religion in the lives of their clients.
Instead of asking the question, you could have just made a statement about religion. Oh, on second reading, that's what you did. That's OK too.

To an volume, faith is sensible in in the present day's society. for instance on a private point the religious concept stimulates the guy to do particular issues that it would routinely would not do, especially on rehab centers. This even however, would not make certain faith as actual, even yet it does help a effect of such. on the different hand, while faith is injected into government and present day society usually it has a tendency to reason severe issues. in this you have Prop. 8, legalization of abortion, stem-cellular study, and human sorting out or cloning. issues which will help us, as a species to conquer deseases and additionally divides our society by ability of a individual religious history (you're appeared down upon as a muslim interior the US and you will't point out christianity interior the midsection east).
