If an individual is in dire need of religion, then certainly the need of the society for religion is even greater and stronger. Religion is the protective shield of the community, because human life cannot exist except through the cooperation among its members for its betterment: {Help you one another in Al¬Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression.}(Al-Mâ’idah:2)
This cooperation cannot exist except through a system that regulates their relationships, defines their duties, and ensures their rights.This system could only come from the most Kind, the All-Aware, the All-Knowing of what humans need:{Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves) All-Aware (of everything).}
(Al-Mulk:14)The more humanity deviates from religion and Allah’s laws and systems, the more it disappears and sinks into the darkness of doubt, misguidance, the feeling of being lost, confusion, misery and unhappiness.

Looking at the above, it needs a further step to that equation.
If we look at the gist of the first paragraph it talks of the need for cooperation. That cooperation cannot exist without a system, second paragrph, and the true system is God's laws, the last paragraph.
But to have it working, we must have the right intentions.
