Religious views

Jews should teach racial harmony because we are all decendents of Adam and Eve, because humanity was created by god, because Jews have a special responsiblilty to promote racial harmony.

Chrisians believe in racial harmony because Jesus created all groups equally, they believe the good samaritain tought us to love our neighbour, The christaine church has members from lots of different races and St Peter had a vision from god to to tell him to promote racial harmony

Some people dont think religions are good at promoting racial harmony because of groups like the ku klux klan who were religious, People belive pollitics is better as the USA has a black president. People also belive passing laws is better.
