This question should be asked by all who follow some belief system to 
understand what they believe.

I will share what I have found:

James 1:27 talks about helping the widow and the fatherless and also about
keeping oneself blameless before the world.

Micah 6:6-8 talks about how Israel thought God was please by sacrifice or 
offerings but God says he want people to do justly and love mercy and to
be humble before God.

James 2:15-17 gives a story of someone in need and someone who talks about 
helping but does not help.  God's religion is one that helps the people in
need.

Matthew 22:37-40  Gives the whole of the religion of the Bible LOVE for God
and LOVE for man.  LOVE is described in 1 Corinthians 13 and 1 John 3:16.

The Bible religion is of LOVE and some might disagree pointing to stories in 
the Bible where they can't see love, but 1 John 3:16 says it all God came
and helped and dies for my sin.  Men in the Bible fought for power and the
results of sin are seen from the first day of sin till now.  

It is a CHOICE.  CHOOSE !
