Question

how religion influence the politics​

Answer 1

Answer:

here is little consensus among the public when it comes to the level of influence religion should play in politics and government policies. People who are unaffiliated with a religion tend to see religious influence as excessive, while those who identify with particular faiths are more inclined to regard religion as having either the right amount of influence or too little.

Although most Americans say religion should have little or no impact on most policy issues and few consider the religious beliefs of candidates an important factor when deciding how to vote, there are large differences by religious identification. For example, 61 percent of white born-again Christians say religion should play a role in LGBT issues, while only 33 percent of Catholics and 14 percent of unaffiliated Americans agree.

However, most Americans think religion should have a role in addressing poverty. Overall, 57 percent of people say religion should influence government policies dealing with poverty, including 65 percent of those who identify with a particular faith and 34 percent of those who are unaffiliated.

Answer 2

Answer:

The relation between religion and politics continues 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.
