With 52% of people saying that religion is very important in their lives in a recent poll by Gallup, it is clear that religion is an important aspect to modern society. It is often associated strongly with politics, as both are belief systems that many people feel very passionate about. Some people consider religion to be a major factor in their political beliefs, while some are not religious and do not consider religion important to politics. Because of this disparity, religion’s involvement in politics is highly debated. Some people believe that religion should be completely separated from government matters. Others believe that religion should influence governmental policies and United States policies. Some believe that religion is only necessary in foreign policy decisions and should not be present in domestic policy. This digital forum will provide a way to look at each of these arguments and individual responses to the other perspectives.
