Am I just supposed to sit there and watch as all sort of injustices are taking place everywhere? What can a person do to make this world slightly better?

Most of the atrocities in the world are driven by greed, popular religions do not advocate for greed or bad actions directly. Religions especially in the west become a tool for rulers and authorities to control people but there never was anything religious about tyrants and dictators to begin with if not the subjugation to their power.

Humanism then, maybe? The values we got from the Age of Enlightenment?

Have you ever read any religious texts? They advocate for some pretty horrendous stuff
