| Résumé: | The article explores the role of religion in shaping societal norms, arguing that religion, alongside law and ethics, plays a critical role in regulating social life. It emphasizes the interdependence of various regulatory systems—religious, ethical, legal, and modern standards—and advocates for reintegrating spirituality into scientific discourse on societal regulation. The study highlights the limitations of purely legalistic approaches and calls for a renewed focus on ethical and religious principles, particularly in light of global crises such as environmental degradation and social inequality. It also discusses the unique position of Christianity in balancing these regulatory frameworks and promoting a harmonious coexistence through values such as love and solidarity. |
