Religious values

Religious values reflect the beliefs and practices which a religious adherent partakes in.[1] Most values originate from sacred texts of each respective religion.[1] They can also originate from members of the religion.[1]

Members of particular religions are considered to be a prime embodiment of the particular religion's values, such as leaders or adherents of a religion who strictly abide by its rules.[1] Each religion has similar and differing values.[1] Being religious does not indicate that certain religions are opposed to particular attitudes or encourage them.[1] These values are also evident in secular society as it shares similarities.[2]

Various aspects of the significance of religious values have been considered with respect to novels,[3] their relevance to a particular religious group (the Jains for instance or Latin Americans),[4][5] and in relation to human society.[6]

Religions influence areas of living in society such a how they treat money.[7] Money is used more ethically by religious adherents than those who are not.[7] Care of the environment is also a religious moral based on values of creation.[8] There are issues in society such as abortion which religious values impact as well.[9] An adherent's attitudes on homosexuality are also affected by religious values.[10] If divorce is taken as a path in marriage or not is affected by how religious the individuals are.[11] Even an adherents consumer behaviour can be shaped by their religion.[12]
