Yes it has.
Siddhartha Gautam
Alvar and Nayanar saints
Bhakti and Sufi saints in North India.
They all fought against injustices against lower class people and dedicated all their life to the upliftment of downtrodden. They were all religious and preached the message of one almighty except perhaps Siddharth but even his teachings had a religious element in them.
Religion infact has done a LOT to solve the problems of injustice. Now that's a completely different matter altogether that it failed in that task.
That's the point i am trying to make. Even if a religion does fight against injustice (for argument's sake), then it has failed in the task. Which brings me to my first question.
If religion was such an integral part in terms of bringing morality, how come it has failed in the task? It simply means, the morality was independent of the religion itself in the first place or.... religion may play part but the entity i.e. the morality has came out of the restrictions of religion and itself defined as an independent identity.
In both the ways, religion became irrelevant to the morality as of now.
