Civil Society/Religion/Rules

 Religion status reflects your ability to influence congregations, push conversations within movements, direct funding and charitable giving to certain causes, mobilize protests and demonstrations, create letter writing campaigns, and generally shift the conversation within your religious community and the religious communities of others. Maybe you're a firebrand pastor preaching warnings of the predations of hell, a rabbi seeking to create a safe and inclusive environment for your congregation, or a priest seeking to put an end to the church's abuse of children. Maybe you are trying to start a movement of faith leaders committed to ending violent crime, or the Imam at a local mosque eager to end racism and discrimination in your community. Whatever your goal, you're going to need to sway the minds of those who believe as you do. And it's easier to do that when you have a microphone.
