English term or phrase: Utility
U sledećem smislu:


Policy based on religion as utility

Religion may be a very personal thing, but it can produce social outcomes, some of which may be desirable or undesirable in the view of the state and so it might wish to encourage or discourage religion. For example, suppose it were true that religious people are less likely to commit crime or less likely to have a marriage breakdown, with all of its attendant problems, these may be regarded as reasons to encourage the relevant religion regardless of whether one believed in it or not oneself. One may simply want to lessen the scale of certain social problems and reduce the cost of remedies to the public purse. More directly, the state may observe religious organisations as serving the needy (the poor, the aged, the homeless, etc.) either just within their own communities or more generally and these may be economical ways of providing certain services the market could not provide and the state could provide less economically or with more political difficulties. So the state may choose to fund these religious organisations.
