Human beings can remain spiritual and religious while enjoying the benefits of rational administration of their affairs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think where political issues invade moral situations, spiritual leaders have to speak out.
The question is not whether personal spiritual beliefs shape a politician's values and policies, but what spiritual beliefs mold those values and policies.
Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.
Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.
To restore the American experiment in democratic self-government, religious believers need to redouble their civic efforts. For without our active participation in politics, the government will continue to trample on our rights. The Constitution does not prevent people of faith from being active in politics.
Among politicians the esteem of religion is profitable; the principles of it are troublesome.
A religion must be instrumental in spiritualising the individual into a boundless and holistic nature.
Maintaining spirituality and humanism are the keys to success. It's a balance.
The creative tension with spirituality vs. practicality in the world of politics is a vital conversation.
Government needs to stay out of the religion business altogether.
