Religious socialism is a term used to describe forms of socialism that are based on religious values. Religious socialism, specifically of the Christian variety, was the original kind of socialism that existed in early 19th century Western Europe, from which all other branches of socialism are ultimately derived.
Several major religions have found that their beliefs about human society fit with socialist principles and ideas. As a result, religious socialist movements have developed within these religions. Such movements include:
- Buddhist socialism
- Christian socialism
- Jewish socialism
- Islamic socialism
