I think religion and politics should not be mixed because both are two different things.

1. In our country there are so many religion, taking one will only lead to conflict, as taking one means only that religion is superior.

2. Today a lot of Riots are happening around our country just because of religion, they think there religion is better than each other which is not corret every religion is equal.

3. For every person his or her religion is the think on which he or she have their pride whereas politics is a think which is done for all the people of the country not for only a single person for their welfare so both are very different we should not mixed both.

4. India is a secular country and by that we should know that no religion is superior and no religion is down.

So, l think religion and politics should not be mixed ever.

I would say religion and politics are two completely different aspects. But nowadays religion is being used for politics.

There are too many Hindu Muslim and Christian fights. Why?

If a politician thinks that he could do good for the nation using his capabilities then he shouldn't use the religion factor.

And because of this mixing of religion with politics people go with their religion ignoring the capabilities or skills of the political leader.

I completely agree with the fact that religion should never be a part of politics because it just eliminates the factor of politics there. There are only communal fights and wars.

Religion and politics shouldn't be mixed because both of them are a different thing. If religion is mixed with politics it will cause disturbances into the country. Politicians will make wrong use of religion into politics.

I think it should be. If we look at countries like India, which consist of such a large diversity, it should be mixed for the sake of the country's real majority. When politicians mix religion with the politics, intentionally or unintentionally they enhance the societal system and encourage the social life of an individual. I am not talking about the welfare of discrimination but the acknowledgement for the thinking of people who are really in a minority.

As in India politicians mainly fight with the perception regarding Hindu and Muslim but the truth is, Muslim are not real minority there are many states in which Muslims are in majority.

And religion is the basic factor of social occasions practised by any individual and hence if mixing religion with politics can benefit one"s social practice then why not it shouldn't.

Of couse, religion shouldn't be mixed with politics but what's the use of it in our country. I say that there are also some politicians who just wanted the power to encourage their own religion and also some politicians implement schemes for their religion and you can also check that in india20 churches were burnt just in a night but I haven't seen that temples were burnt anytime any where. And even politicians don't look into this matter.

So, I conclude that instead of saying religion and politics should not mixed they can name thier party as Christian or hindu because the name of a party is just a cover. There's nothing like Romanticism of country in politics and moreover its a power play.

In my views, the two should not be mixed. But I think there is no fault of the politicians in mixining the two it's we who are doing that, it's we who have allowed these things to be done in our country, it we who gave the politicians religion as a tool too play with. India is considered as a mother of religions but I guess this diversity in religion which should have been used to actually stand upon the famous line of "unity in diversity" is not being implemented rather we take pride in calling ourselves Muslim, sikh, dalits etc instead of being called as Indians. That's why politicians choose to favour that religion which has majority or whose maximum people support their incentives cause they think that using religion is atleast bearing them fruits to get in power in our country. Definitely who would not like to stay in power. This is not to offend any particular party but if some Muslim political leader would say that Hanuman was a Muslim and give all those long explanations for it definitely Muslims would support him. We have created a wall in human race breaking it into religions.

Some questions many tend to ask is;

1) Should the two be mixed?

2) And if they are mixed, would it be like manna falling from heaven or a powerful poison which destroyed everything it touches?

Religion and politics must be kept separate. Religion is meant to unite people with similar beliefs into a moral community. Politics, on the other hand, is meant to unite all people of a region into a single community, regardless of personal beliefs and practices. Thus, when the two are mixed, the results are bound to be disastrous.

I think including or even mixing religion with caste is a very cheap way of getting votes from a majority of people. Since politicians look for their benefit rather than the benefit of the people, casteism and forming religion based party is a common way which may help them get votes and access power.

Mixing religion and politics makes people of certain religion which exist as minority in the country, feel alienated and discriminated.

In my view, Yes, religion is not mixed with politics because religion is not at all matter for the politician. If the political leader is free from any religion then only leadership qualities is to be taken out correct manner. Some of the people make group themselves and opt for there religion one leader. This type of politics is not enough for our country or state. The things are going in natural is better than artificial. It may leafs problems to our society and very poor people. They make religion as fashion and do bad things.

Finally, I conclude that this is not good politicians mix with their religion only.
