Religion and politics

Some say "Stop bringing politics into religion!". This is nonsense. Historically the two were never separated. Religion dictated the tradition politics tried to preserve. Politics supported the religion so that it would never crumble under the inner or outer threat.

The idea of separating politics and religion is a modern one. Even today there is no truly secular countries. We still end up having sacred texts (e.g. Constitution), laws based on moral tradition, a separate class of those who defy said laws and traditions etc. It is religious.

Politics without religion are baseless. Religion without politics is weak.
