Question

explain the nexus between religion and politics of the state . 250 word

Answer 1

The relation between religion and politicscontinues to be an important theme in political philosophy, despite the emergent consensus (both among political theorists and in practical political contexts, such as the United Nations) on the right to freedom of conscience and on the need for some sort of separation between church and state. One reason for the importance of this topic is that religions often make strong claims on people’s allegiance, and universal religions make these claims on all people, rather than just a particular community. For example, Islam has traditionally held that all people owe obedience to Allah’s will. Thus, it is probably inevitable that religious commitments will sometimes come into conflict with the demands of politics. But religious beliefs and practices also potentially support politics in many ways. The extent and form of this support is as important to political philosophers as is the possibility for conflict. Moreover, there has been a growing interest in minority groups and the political rights and entitlements they are due. One result of this interest is substantial attention given to the particular concerns and needs of minority groups who are distinguished by their religion, as opposed to ethnicity, gender, or wealth.

Answer 2

religion is a spiritual belief by a group of people. these people believe in one or many supreme beings who they believe is responsible for their lives and every good fortune they have in life. they have a common belief. politics is the way a state or a country is governed. the governing, the constitution differs from one state to another. both religion and politics play two major roles. they can unite a country and the same time divide it. they both give people of a state a sense of belonging.
