Religion has caused many good and peaceful events in humanity's history. It has been a force of good in our world. For example, it has caused people to find meaning in the world. When someone is feeling bad about something from failing a test to losing a loved one, religion is always a way for people to vent or console themselves. It is an outlet and people find peace in it. With out religion, when someone is grieving or just sad it would be a little more difficult to be at peace.
Religion has also been good to humanity on a much more global scale. It has brought people together when they have been suppressed. For example Martin Luther King Junior used religion to unite people under one cause. He did not unite people under him and then use is power over them for his personal reasons but brought them together under a much bigger cause. Using what King had learned about from religion from his father who was a pastor and his own ministry work he brought civil rights to America. These two widely different reasons are only the few on why religion has been a force of good in the world.
