we bring in and out, as well as our beliefs, values, and traditions. The movement of
people and information across national borders increases the rate of social and
cultural liberalization resulting in potential loosening of traditional religious practices
and beliefs.

religion is primarily used as a control system. It does have some value in that it often
encourages some ethics and morality, and this can help to solve the global conflict
and promote global peace.
