New poll is up! The interplay of religion and politics drives much of the conflict in the world. In your own life, how do these categories of ideas influence one another?

I replied "tangentially" because of a few reasons. As a Christian, I believe that government is ordained by God, and I have the duty to follow and exercise my rights. Of course, this doesn't mean I think all politics are therefore good and holy; on the contrary. I tend to stay out of politics for the main reason that it goes against everything I believe religiously. It's all about arguments, being more powerful than the next guy, and glorifying one's self. Therefore, they are related, but only because my religion dictates how I should act concerning government's rule, not how I should act towards politics and what side to choose, etc.
