Religion and Poverty

What is the best possible relationship between religion and solutions to poverty, in modern life?

I believe that religion can be used as both a solution and a problem. Religion is something that provides as a foundation of a person’s humanity towards all creations. When we do not respect the boundaries or our limitation that are expected of us, we break down, we commit acts that are not just bad but they are the total opposite of what a moral religious person would do. And this is where the solution or problem occurs, when people aim to achieve a personal goal by following a religion, they have difficulties following it, because they are not willfully doing a good deed but they are rather following instructions to achieve a certain something they want. If they would in fact follow religion willfully they would stay sturdy and help others, not to feel good but because they understand the difficulties of poverty from a moral, emotional point of view as well. And this type of understanding I think is crucial for people to have, to eliminate poverty by providing assistance in all forms. It can be information about patience and difficult times or may be even money but the understanding or the feeling needs to be there to keep the link between these two faces of life.
