Religion should not be mixed with politics

Hi Everyone,

So today our topic is Religion should not be mixed with politics.

I would like to start by sharing my thoughts on the topic of whether religion should be mixed with politics.

I strongly believe that religion is a personal matter and politics is about governance and public welfare.

The two should remain separate for a healthy democracy. When religion enters politics, it often leads to division, vote bank politics and emotional manipulation of people, diverting the state's focus away from real issues like education, healthcare, employment and development.

Our country is home to people of many religions have and it is the responsibility of political leaders to treat all citizens equally regardless of faith mixing religion with politics can create distrust among communities and even lead to communal tensions, violence which is harmful to the national unity instead politicians should promote values that unite people like equality justice and respect for diversity education and awareness also play a key role in helping citizens choose leaders based on merit and work not religious identity city contribute positively.

I believe we must push for issue-based politics to hold our leaders accountable for development, not religious sentiments in conclusion, keeping the religion out of politics ensures A fairer, stronger and more peaceful society for everyone.

In my opinion " I believe there is a clear difference between politics and religion, but today, some political parties are blurring that line to gain votes. They often manipulate people by mixing religion with politics, which diverts attention from real issues.

People need to understand that voting should be based on what is right, not just on loyalty to a single party. Blind support for a candidate or party, regardless of their actions, can be dangerous. Politics should be about accountability, not devotion.

Criticizing a ruling government is a democratic right — not an act of disloyalty. Citizens elect leaders to serve them, and if those leaders are not fulfilling their duties, it’s the people's responsibility to question and correct them.

For example, while India is now the 5th largest economy in the world, a serious issue remains: the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. The wealthy continue to accumulate more wealth, while the common citizen struggles. Economic growth should benefit all, not just a few.

There are many such issues where common people are being used as tools for political gain. It's time for citizens to stay informed, ask questions, and vote responsibly — not emotionally.

Religion in politics is very bad since politicians are very manipulative they use religion to twist facts in their favour and target people for different opinions why exactly religion is needed in politics politicians have no right to say what is morally right or wrong.

Religion should not be mixed in politics it causes damage to society and makes people think differently people will vote on the castesiem they judge based on religion or the work that he has done for them recently Supreme Court has ordered not to mix religion in politics the person by seeing his work not on religion.

But, I believe that religion teaches us and makes us differentiate between right and wrong. But, I agree that politics should not involve religion i.e. politicians should not divide people based on religion, but I would like to add that adding religious laws may ease people's lives i.e. bring justice, commitments, preventing crime rates etc.

The best example can be Kuwait, Qatar and other countries where rules are made mostly for religious and we can find very low crime rates in the world. Even Alcohol is forbidden in these countries and recently there was a news headline which stated that Saudi is the safest country for women, and women can have a journey during the night time without any fear.

So, Adding religion may bring many changes in the world, But not every religion can implemented (i.e Based on their practices).

Thank you.

Politics should never be mixed with religion. Because religion is an individual's belief whereas politics are the beliefs of large groups.

Ethics is Self Discipline which cannot be regulated by Religion or Politics.

Humanity is Divinity, Divinity loses Value and honour in the absence of Humanity.

Spirituality begins when Religion Ends.

Keeping Religion away from Politics makes it Sensible,

And Keeping Money away from Politics makes it useful to People.

As quoted by Ayn Rand and sensible Economists.

Truth is Simple, Truth is Great, and Truth is God.

LOVE IS GOD - GOD IS LOVE.

None can Live without Love.

As the bible states, (if you do follow God & what the bible does say), you should stay politically neutral & be no part of the world. Religions have blessed those going to war in the past, working alongside political movements & many other atrocities. This is clearly completely against God & not loving, as God condemns war & one of God's foremost qualities is love. God is peace, so, it's a definite no, religion should never mix with politics.

Hi, , myself Karthik.

Some sociologist referred "twin tolerance "which has been often used to define relation between religion and politics, some believe that modernity will eventually leads to decline of religious faith and the role of religion in public / private sphere. But in our nation, these are keywords in our society.

1. The idea of religion concerns the private sphere which pertains to individual faith and beliefs, whereas politics in the public sphere pertains to the wider community eg the larger nation.

2. The intrusion of religion into politics can monopolize some specific ideologies, which in turn create a rift in society. Eg; partition of our nation.

3. If religious ideologies perpetuates deeper into our politics it may turns into mass hysteria leading to the indoctrination of people. Eg; the second world war anti Semitism of Nazis for jewis.

4. In politics it creates a voter bank in the name of religion, which diminishes the idea of secularism.

5. Intermixing religion with politics may promote favouritism in the community.

In my view, religion in politics must be like value oriented but not power-oriented, as we can learn from the legacy of ASHOKA DHAMMA and AKBAR DIN -E-IIAHI. Further in India secularism is well comprehensively defined but we need to bring it into practice. However, religion should be treated like an individual sphere and the absence of discrimination against various religion and active opposition to communalism.

Yes, religion should not be mixed with politics because it's discrimination between the people, their religion, their culture and also their feelings. Many politicians do for their own sake and do not even realise that they divided our country.
