Abstract The negative function of social harms has prompted the managers of societies to provide legal and legal solutions to reduce these harms. But this effort is often not fully efficient. One of the most efficient ways to acknowledge scholars is to spread religious beliefs. These beliefs help to reduce social harms by generating meaning and creating an internal control system in people. In this paper, we have tried to analyze the strategies for the impact of religious beliefs on reducing social harms. The method of this research is descriptive and analytical and based on library and documentary collection method. The findings suggest that religious beliefs help to reduce harms by creating social solidarity, meaningfulness to life, creating self-control, feelings of support from God, and producing a sense of responsibility before God.
