The relationship between religion and politics is as follows:-
1. Gandhiji said that religion cannot be separated from politics. He did not mean any one religion like Islam or Hinduism, but he meant moral values that inform all religions.
2. Human rights groups argue that most people who are subjected to mob violence, lynching, etc are members of minority communities and so, steps should be taken for their protection.
3. Many feminists have said that the family laws and practices of many religions are unfair to women and so these should be changed.
4. Sometimes, however, religion in politics can have negative effects. For example, in Northern Ireland there was a bitter fight between Catholics and Protestants where many people were killed.
5. Politicians already compete on some existing divisions in a society. If they start competing on the basis of some other social divisions like religion, the situation can become very explosive and lead to instability.
