The importance of trust is unquestionable for the continuation of societies. The societies which are constructed by people who depend on each other can produce positive values and such societies can stand well for a long time. The factors which terminate trust in society can also be seen as the factors which cause the society to collapse because it is hard for the societies where trust is lost to stand. Belief leads person to trust on himself, his CREATOR, and others. A trustworthy society can be constructed by believers' being away from fear, not worrying about future, and sharing their these thoughts with others. And again with the permenance of these the continuation of the society can be provided. In the article the importance of trust in the society is handled and the factors which are thought to prevent the trust from being ensured are talked over.
