Religion shouldn't be mixed with politics

[aninditasen]

Recently two religious events were solemnized by Indian politicians. One the Ayodhya Ram temple by the Indian Prime Minister and another the Jagannath temple's new development by the Odisha Chief Minister. I think this is politicizing religion. A party trying to spreading its popularity through religious ceremonies is not done. Does this happen in your country?

Yes I agree religion is a whole another things compared to politics however even these days there are wars

That is what the world is turning into today, they are now mixing politics into everything happening just for their own personal and selfish gains.

In my country the religion and politics is different, and yeah its better this way because there are many religions in one country so its better this way.

This is how it should be but a lot of people are doing the opposite which is really appalling

There are politicians in my country and one was the vice presidentiable candidate who was campaigning inside the church. People who saw the video of that political candidate mocked her. She's a lawyer but people call her a dumb.

You can imagine that mixing God with politics. People are just so ambitious now and most times it in a very bad way

That is because there's money and power in politics that's why they defamed themselves just to win. People this time are wise they vote only the candidates honest, and committed to serve the public.

When dealing with religion its like working for God. So there's no point whereby the matters related to God can be mixed with that of the politics.

This did not happen in my country because we do not have representatives of other religions in the parliament, but in my opinion it is unacceptable to use religion in political debates. I would consider it a pity because politicians do not respect it

 

[Joshua Farrell]

Most government ran stuff that I know of in my country, will atleast have a prayer before doing public business if the community is largely religious. Not sure if our top level government still does prayers at the start of business, but I know they occasionally do so for certain events.

That is the limit to what I am willing to have in government affairs.

Since India is secular and there are many religious faiths the politicians play their vote game using religion.

Your point is very important. The use of religious events for political gain is a questionable issue in many countries, even in Africa. Politicians know that faith can be emotionally charged, and sometimes use it to sway voters.

But not everyone agrees. There are those who advocate for the separation of religion and politics to protect the dignity of faith. When we speak out about this, we help society think critically. Keep asking questions, sharing ideas, and standing up for what is right. Real progress comes with transparency and integrity.

 

[Starmix]

No, it doesn't happen in my country. Religion is not mixed with politics. People will get angry and fight the culprits.

 

[Bigshow]

Why should religion be mixed with politics at first,you see this world is sick religion is a sacred while politics are cocky and very deceitful the two can never be mixed.

 

[Starmix]

Politics is dirty and religion symbolises our strong faith and a sacred connection with God. Politicians can donate to church and that will be their greatest contribution unless the money originated from corruption.

The politicians only search for pleas to politicize issues and divert people from important issues.
