- Religious dogmas also influence economic endeavours, political movements, social hierarchies, and cultural differences. It also has an impact on beliefs, value system and rituals followed by an individual.
- There are certain common values and virtues preached by every religion. For example: Each religion shares a belief in the value of life, benevolence, piety and virtues such as honesty, simplicity, goodness etc. It positively influences individual’s ways of thinking and behaving.
- As pointed out by sociologist M. N. Srinivas, the spread of various religious communities all over the country and diversification of their economic activities have strengthened the process of social integration.
