Religion shapes choices through moral frameworks
Religious beliefs often serve as a **moral compass**, guiding individuals in their decision-making processes. [Studies suggest that religion can lead to more uniform behavioral responses and less reactivity to positive outcomes](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886923002738). This influence is particularly evident in moral and ethical decisions, [where religious values often dictate the choices individuals make](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2352250X15001876). The interplay between faith and decision-making is complex, [as it involves not only personal beliefs but also cultural and social contexts](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1744165X23000136).
