All houses of worship should be permanently shut down and turned into social justice centers

“In the world of philanthropy, we often hear the phrase social justice. But what exactly does it mean? While you probably have a general idea, would you be able to define it in a short soundbite if you were put on the spot?

Several organizations and institutions provide their own definitions. Here are a few:

“Social justice may be broadly understood as the fair and compassionate distribution of the fruits of economic growth.”
United Nations
“Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities. Social workers aim to open the doors of access and opportunity for everyone, particularly those in greatest need.”
National Association of Social Workers
“Social justice encompasses economic justice. Social justice is the virtue which guides us in creating those organized human interactions we call institutions. In turn, social institutions, when justly organized, provide us with access to what is good for the person, both individually and in our associations with others. Social justice also imposes on each of us a personal responsibility to work with others to design and continually perfect our institutions as tools for personal and social development.”
Center for Economic and Social Justice.” “While formal definitions vary in wording, they have commonalities.

Equal rights
Equal opportunity
Equal treatment
With these core values in mind, we can define the phrase: Social justice means equal rights and equitable opportunities for all.

Social Justice Issues:

Social justice encompasses a wide range of issues and advocates for the fair treatment of all people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or socioeconomic status.

Some of the most pressing social justice issues include:

Economic inequality: The gap between the rich and the poor is growing wider in many countries. This is a major social justice issue, leading to a lack of opportunity for the poor and marginalized.
Racial injustice: People of color are disproportionately affected by poverty, crime and violence and face discrimination in employment, housing and education.
Gender injustice: Women and girls have historically been denied the same rights and opportunities as men and face discrimination in the workplace, in education and in politics.
Disability injustice: People with disabilities are often denied the same rights and opportunities as people without disabilities and face discrimination at work and in their communities.
Environmental injustice: People of color and low-income communities are often disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and the impacts of climate change.” -https://www.sdfoundation.org/news-events/sdf-news/what-is-social-justice/#:~:text=“Social%20justice%20is%20the%20view,particularly%20those%20in%20greatest%20need.”
