Religion and political expediency go beautifully hand in hand.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The intersection of religion and world politics has often been a bloody crossroads.
A strong case can be made for religious leaders to speak out on political issues.
Politics is really religion. Politics is about sacredness. Politics is about offering a vision that will bind the nation together to pursue greatness.
Religion, for better or for worse, has been politicized in blatant ways that have seldom been equaled in American elections.

I think that we are at a point in our country where we're trying to decide what role should religion play in the political arena.
Power is not just political. It can be cultural; it can be spiritual.

Religion has to stay in the heart, not in politics. It is private.
Politics in America is the binding secular religion.
