Does the United states mix politics and religion?

Answer 1

sometimes we do but I do not agree with it. I saw the statment brother aziz made and I really feel a bit upset about this topic.

He asked if God told bush to start this war? If God was wrong?

God did not tell George Bush anything. I just feel bad for all our troops overseas and all our Good men and women who have died. As well as for the all innocent lives that have been taken in Irak and elsewhere.

It is a sad thing indeed and I really do not even want to talk about it, I DO NOT LIKE POLITICS. We all have friends and family in the military and overseas and is just sad to see what is going on. It just makes no sense to me.

I do appreciate the MEN AND WOMEN OF THE U.S MILITARY FORCE and I am sad that many have died in the line of duty and left widows and children!

I pray for all our man and women in the military as well as for all of us Americans and all our brothers and sisters muslims and non-muslims. Inshallah there is world peace and we do not go through the situation we are in now.

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! AND GOD BLESS ALL OF US! AMEEN!

Answer 2

To a certain extent I think it does, as do all other nations. Like it or not, America was founded as a nation firmly on Judeo-Christian ethics. To the extent that the mix does not prejudice other people of other religions or impose or restrict freedom, I think the mixture is fine. But then again the liberals have fought to enforce the separation of church and state and secularise the nation.

Answer 3

When America was formed politics was based on religion. Those things which are against the law here(killing, stealing, etc) were based off the ten commandments of the Bible. After more and more religions found their way to America we realized that we had to make a precise definition between the two, and so they stopped mixing them. If the government cant properly represent every religion then someone is bound to get upset, so they took it out of politics completely.

Answer 4

in view that some human beings are non secular and human beings impact politics, that's not available to take it out thoroughly. My Christianity does impact how I view the worldwide, and that throughout turn impacts how I vote. i don't see an oblique association as being risky, although - every physique has a distinctive set of biases. oftentimes, i could anticipate them to popular out. There somewhat could be no direct impact, although. the entire ingredient of setting up the separation of church and state became into to maintain the state from meddling in the affairs of church homes. i think of it became into extra of an ingredient-earnings that it keeps church homes from meddling in political ideals, yet not all area-outcomes are undesirable.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

Is that like mixing breathing with oxygen?
Are we not humans with an eternal spirit?
Do we not enteract through political arenas for both good and bad?
**the two go hand in hand.
It is not what goes in a man/woman but what comes out.
You can see the physical results of politics from the spiritual walk that one takes within.
This is the inner/outer workings of mankind.

Answer 7

Definitely. That's why Bush won't promote stem-cell research, abortion and so forth. Even if I agree with him on certain things it's only right that others have a choice. But the Constitution is based on Christian belief, so yes technically it's embedded.

Answer 8

yes. as hypocritical as that is the usa does indeed mix politics and religion.

Answer 9

I would say yes they do, but so has probably every country to some extent.

The Pagan Roman empire did it. (persuading people to worship Roman Gods)
The Christian Roman empire did it. (persuading people to become christians)
The chinese goverment does it. (persecuting Falun Gong followers)
The communist government did it (pretty much enforcing atheism).
US gov't (pro-christian)
Islamic nations (pro-islam)

and so forth.

Answer 10

Yes they do despite the whole, "separation of religion and state" clause.
