In the course of my theological education i was instructed to understand that there are two aspects to religion, the 'feelgood' aspect and the 'realitycheck' aspect -- which captures the sense that religion should 'comfort the disturbed', but also 'disturb the comfortable'.
In my mature years, my greater life-concern has been 'realitycheck' religion, for, feelgood preference has blurred religion's moral compass. 'Feelgood' religion has gotten too comfortable in its self-interest beliefs. Religion has especially become politicized in this time, and made party to self-interests at the expense of public interest -- the religious politicizing of competitive self-interest is unseemly when it contributes to the trashing of people and nature.
Global populations aggressively compete for natural resources, to the point that religion seems to have lost its sense of bringing together, but is used to foment division and violence. We cannot abide religion/ politics that divide and do violence.
