Religion and the Patterns of Morality

Abstract: In this age of increased crime and public decadence in and out of the White House and Senate, it is easy to understand the need to incorporate a sense of morality within the context of politics. Moral action is perhaps a necessary ingredient that appears to be missing, or, at the least, diminished. Former President Reagan stated that he felt that Americans need religion because we are imperfect and our government needs the church because only those humble enough to admit they are sinners can bring democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive. This 5 page paper proposes that this statement is reflective of a belief that religion is able to influence the patterns of morality by animating moral behavior within the context of government or political policies.
