You really have to be a full blown idiot, no offense, to ask how politics and religion are related.
Here is wisdom if you have the ability to suppress your ego to accept it.
The difference between a religion and a cult is the latter lacks political power. Even when I knew the Nazarene, I had no religion. I had faith. There is a difference. Religion is born of men. Faith, of God. What have you got?
Answer: Shit.
There is no God and I despise religion. But I loathe those that hate the Nazarene and those that truly follow him for no other reason than their faith condemns them and if there is one thing a deviant despises it is to be reminded that they are a deviant.
The weaklings are not those that have genuine faith in the Christ.
