Can Religion & Politics Mix?

Article


The question raised in this article is "Can religion & politics mix?" The article discusses that many people feel that religion and politics don't mix well. The article questions if it is right for religious leaders to intervene in national political issues. The journalists went out across the nation to ask people living is small towns these type of questions. Many believed that the United States was secular nation, and that our government strictly was ruled by politics. But I would argue that point, I believe that our nation is de-secularizing since more and more people are finding faith. In this world of corruption, hate and violence many more people are turning to faith to find answers and to feel a sense of belonging. Our nation's leaders are voted because of their religious views. In the United States, only Christian men have been elected, a country that stands on freedom for all, has only elected Christian men. I can guarantee that the first women president will be Christian as well. Our countries votes because of these religious views, if our country did not run off of religious institutions I would think there would be a more diverse list of presidents.
