Abstract

This research is aimed at finding the root of the problem behind the situation of serious injustice that occurs in the world today. The most surprising fact is that the 20th century, and continuing into the 21st century, has created the most unequal or unjust society in human history. Social inequality occurs massively both at the level between countries and between individuals. The research method used is literature study. Research is carried out by studying from the literature the concepts of justice that are practiced in today's world, and then looking for weaknesses in these concepts. Try to examine and compare the existing weaknesses with the teachings of Christianity to reach a conclusion. This research succeeded in showing that Christian religious teachings about love are an element needed to cover the weaknesses of the prevailing concepts of justice. The conclusion that this research produces is that Christian teachings about love are very relevant in improving world justice.

Abstract

Democracy that was once considered the best political system created by humans, now its image is fading. The picture of democracy today is getting bleaker. Societal polarization, conflict, the politicization of religion, excessive fanaticism, violence, victims, and various other negative phenomena, seem to have integrated into today's democratic practices. The election that should be a Democratic Party, a people's sovereignty party, has become a frightening and worrying moment. Even though today's world really needs political policies that are able to overcome various complicated problems such as: environmental damage, injustice, pandemics, etc. And in fact, democracy is the political system used by the majority of the world's countries today. What will happen to the world if democracy loses its ability to produce the common good (bonum commune)? What if democracy only becomes a tool for elite groups? And it is detrimental to many people? And what is also important to study, what is the role of religion in this concern? Secularization, which separated religion from politics in the past, has limited religion in the private sphere and politics in the public sphere. This situation is slowly turning into a vicious circle. The grim picture of politics is increasingly driving religion away from him. Even though, religion is a moral agent that is needed as a guide for good politics. The distancing of religion makes politics even more bleak, and so on. Given the urgency of this situation, this research was conducted. The research is aimed at finding alternative solutions that can stop this vicious circle. The research was conducted through a literature study, by tracing the situation of democracy and religion at this time. The religious approach used in this study is a Christian religious approach. The thesis of this research is that religion, which is professed by the majority of the world's population today, is actually an antidote to the gloomy picture of today's democracy.
