Religion and Human Values: Contemporary Perspectives in Humanities

Abstract

The relationship between religion and human values has been central to the evolution of civilizations. This article explores contemporary perspectives in the humanities that examine the ethical, cultural, and philosophical implications of religion. By analyzing the intersection of belief systems with morality, social justice, and intercultural dialogue, the study provides an interdisciplinary framework for understanding how religion shapes human values in modern societies. The findings highlight the transformative role of religion in promoting moral accountability, cultural identity, and human rights, while also addressing challenges such as secularization, pluralism, and globalization.
