Many people can use the basis of their religion as the foundation of their decision making.
Many people believe that if there were no god (or if people believed there to be no god) there would be no such thing as morals. Everyone would just do as they like, without any thought of good and evil.
Religion should have a positive influence on decision making as when making a decision they will all make one that would be approved by their god. All religions have values (usually to do good, and to avoid wrong) which further influences positive decision making amongst religious people. An example of this would be the 10 Commandments which play a big role in the lives of Cristian 's and how they should live.

Our morals and ethical beliefs are something that to most people are taken very seriously and in a lot of individual 's lives they are seen as guidelines to live by. Ask yourself what the world would potentially be like without our morals and ethical values. From a personal understanding of morals and ethics, I believe that the world would soon become a disastrous place. There would be nothing to live by and no right or wrong decisions; also the world would see much more crime and dangerous activity. Think about medicine, and how patients would be treated and the procedures that could be created without ethical and moral background.

Through the 13 years of my life, I have learned that it is always important to do what is right, even if there could be consequences that follow. “The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” These words were spoken singer/songwriter Bob Marley.

Religion has the power to positively or negatively affect a civilization, depending on how it is practiced. Religion can often unify people because everyone agrees on a higher power, but it can also cause conflict when people all believe that their religion is the only “correct” one. Ancient civilizations, such as the Islamic and Mauryan Empires have been impacted by religion. Religion also impacts different regions today, especially Iran.
To some people religion is their entire way of life while to others it is just a side thought. But to almost everyone religion affects their lives everyday in some way, whether it just be in the back of a mind. Religion affects the lives of its followers by telling them the rights and wrongs, giving them someone to follow, and explaining why things happen to allow its followers to gain access to some variation of heaven.
