English summary: That Christian faith is combined with social commitment is already clearly testified in the New Testament. Today, Christian values and denominational loyalties combine with the commitment to the common good in civil society. Sometimes, one could get the impression that a kind of “social religion” is originating that has a high group-related potential of motivation. The author analyses the interrelationships between religion and commitment – and also takes a look at non-Christian religions. German description: Dass christlicher Glaube mit sozialem Engagement verbunden ist, bezeugt bereits das Neue Testament in aller Deutlichkeit. Auch heute verbinden sich christliche Werte und konfessionelle Bindung mit dem Einsatz fur das Gemeinwohl in der Zivilgesellschaft. Ja, bisweilen kann man den Eindruck haben, es bilde sich eine Art ‘Sozialreligion’ heraus, die uber ein hohes gruppenbezogenes Motivationspotenzial verfugt. Der Autor arbeitet die Zusammenhange zwischen Religion und Engagement heraus – und wirft auch einen Blick auf nichtchristliche Religionen.
