    Religion plays a central role in ethics by defining concepts of right and wrong behavior according to belief systems. Ethics involves analyzing and recommending moral conduct as well as defining the good life. Religions influence individuals' views of ethics through their statutes and precepts that guide decisions and courses of action. For some, morality is impossible without religion, as religions like Christianity use revealed texts to establish goals and assess actions by how well they achieve those goals, such as producing the most happiness. So in summary, religion serves as a tool for understanding ethics and applying ethical principles to daily life according to one's faith.

    The Role of Religion in Ethics

    Ethics involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right


    and wrong behavior. A central aspect of ethics is "the good life", the life worth living or life that is
    simply satisfying, which is held by many philosophers to be more important than traditional moral
    conduct.

    Ethics is a general idea or belief that influences people's behavior and attitudes as
    well as their views about what is right or wrong. Religion is driven by the various belief systems
    and this commands what an individual does the mirror of his judgement-Ethics. Thus, my
    assertion is right because many individuals and communities have been and continue to be led or
    influenced by the statutes and precepts of their religious groups to act in a certain way, decision or
    course of life.Some people, especially religious people, say that there can be no morality without
    religion. They say that without God, ethics is impossible. In my religion, Christian, a revealed
    religion, ethics or morality is the attempt to arrive at a view of the nature of human values, of how
    we ought to live and of what constitutes right conduct. In order to arrive at a view, it sets goals and
    assesses actions by the extent to which they further these goals, Example if happiness is a goal
    then the action which produces most happiness to all affected is the right one.

    So in this case the role of religion in ethics are by being an instrument on how they
    know the concept of ethics. By using the Religion ethics can be apply in our daily life. For me that
    is the role of ethics.
