I don't know why politics uses religion. I don't see how it can be good if politics uses religion because they probably will not use a Biblical basis if they did use a Biblical basis then that would be good. However too much religion causes war and just because I am a Christian doesn't mean I am religious. Religion causes war, but faith in God creates peace.

No, its depends what religion you are in. If your religion allows/participate in war, then it can cause war. But we Jehovah's Witness we dont, we love each other. Not like other religions, they kill one onother.

Why people use religion? i think that religion must be a personal thing.People are bad , not religion.

Because the religion and the politic are interconnected from the past times till now. Most of the religious leaders also use politic to support their plans. And the church is never separated of the country, it support it.

Because people ideals and values are commonly built upon their religious beliefs. Therefore they naturally get incorporated into politics.

I have never think about this.It is a possibility, but i think that politic should be different and not should have religion as mission.There are people that not have a religion and live in the country too.

You know that the religious leaders can brainwash the followers. They always follow what their leader teach.The Bible also stated about the Great Babylon, the impire of false religion.
