First, what is politics?,

It is a mix of policies and power and, religion it is faith. Politics includes everything, so it includes religion too, but politics should not be religious. Just as others said our country is democratic and if religion and politics are mixed it may become a major issue. As one religious group may dominate the other which we do not need. It is not wise to have favour on one religion as when our leaders have tried it has created a communal issue.

Religion should not be mixed. According to me, mixing of religion and politics may lead to inequality among people.

Religion should be mixed with politics because every religion teach the same thing that is truthfulness, respecting others etc. As there is a lack of all these values in our society.

If politics is not mixed with religion there will not be teachings like this which will eventually lead to a corrupt society. But the religion must be refined because the religion which is taught to us today is not the religion it is the rules which are made by people like us.

I think Politics should subserve religion.

But this is first if we redefine what is religion. In the history of India, people have stood for Truth. Without politics able to take interest in Truth without being blamed for being non- secular, this country that has always lead in truth has now been an obstacle by this secular argument which considers religion for a way of living a life on earth rather than knowing the Truth. The quality of religion is being destroyed and the argument is becoming about the rights of each religion rather than live in the Truth that there is only one religion, one god and so merge all the religions as one, there is only one history, we don't have to follow blind faith but excel in this knowledge, but not allowing religion in the arena is making people only interested in money and politics, so politics serve the economy and capitalism only, that is the disaster and religion is used for gains too but not for what it really is.

We live in a country full of diversity.

We also know that our constitution has described the country to be secular and democratic. The two terms politics and religion may be different but in the modern world, everyone has their own problems. What, I mean to say is that politics, if looked on the brighter side can be a very good way of overcoming the problems in India. People of different religions have their own problem to solve and to help the fact, politics can be proved a very good method to represent different problems in parliament. Moreover, a feeling of equal representation can be achieved. Think about it.

In my opinion, religion should not be mixed with politics.

I think Religious life and political life is totally different from each other. I think in our country India religious fanaticism is going practising and that people are doing. We should not do this and move on with the world. Therefore no religion with politics.

Religion should not be mixed with politics because in my views, religion and politics are completely different from each other. If it is mixed then there will be discriminated religious people who are not getting the benefits of the policies made by some govt and it leads to so many drastic things which will affect all the society. In Sri Lanka, there was a differentiation between social and religious groups which lead to majoritarianism. In India, there is no particular religion which should be followed by all, which is in the preamble but still, political leaders are using the religion as the best way to politics.

In my opinion, RELIGION AND POLITICS SHOULD NEVER BE MIXED because as an ideal world politics should have nothing to do with citizen's private life if RELIGION comes over politics the specific religion will follow specific rules which may be destruction for others.

In my opinion, I still believe that religion and politics should never be mixed. In a country like ours where people of innumerable religious beliefs sustain together, it will not be a wise decision to favour a certain religion. Whenever our political leaders have tried to favour one religion over the others, it has only led to communal violence. This vote-bank politics is also a major reason for the hatred between Hindus and Muslims in India. November 2018 saw devastating consequences in Nigeria due to the mixing of religion and politics during their elections. Taking the values of religion to administer a nation is always a good decision, but mixing people's faith with politics is threatening to the world.
