Religions preach that truth should prevail and this can being good for everyone. But the present day Society is not taking religions seriously. Hence religious leaders should fight elections and after establishing their governments they should achieve their goal of 'TOTAL TRUTHFULLNESS'. Pope should seriously consider this as a crusader.

religions (all of them) should but out of peoples lives, and let people live their lives how they want to live. One mans truth is another mans lies. Just because someone holy or otherwise proclaims something to be true, it doesn't mean it is.

Gee I hope I don't receive another violation for answering how I perceive as being the truth from non tolerant "religious" users, but the truth has nothing to do with religion in current events, In my opinion religion needs to stay out of politics, the crusades were killing in the name of God, and I do believe that the Almighty can do his/her own killing at will. People should be free to seek their own spirituality without fear from organized churches or state resistance.Religion should promote peace not intolerance, or killing. Many races of people have been subjected to genocide based upon their religious views, the Churches promoted the conquest and subsequent slaughter of native peoples the world over. The truth is keep politics and religion separate, and that was by coincidence one of the principals utilized in the formation of this country!

Because that is the real meat and potatoes of religion. Religion says this and religion says that. It promises things and rarely delivers, just like many politicians do.
The truth is, if you want to know the TRUTH, that is, is that religion is only a tool these days. Religion is a very successful tool in terms of wrangling votes, or persuading people into believing something that isn't true. Kinda like when George Bush said that God talks to him and told him to invade Iraq. That isn't the truth but somehow people seem to believe him. Nobody's called him on it or tried to make a documentary on it, even 60 Minutes hasn't touched it with a 10 foot pole.
The truth is religion is a sham, kinda like fortune tellers at the circus. It serves a purpose in our governments to control us citizens, and we still support it even though it hasn't told us one iota of truth. Maybe our masses are just plain stupid? Go figure.

So you're suggesting that there should be a theocracy, instead of a democracy? Wait, wait....didn't a small group of Pilgrims break forth from a Church-run political system which is granting you the very right to sit there and make those kinds of observations?
Not sure about you, but I'm pretty happy with not having my government compeling me to practice religion. I sort of expect the same thing from my religion, to not compel me to practice politics.

When did truthfulness become a political goal?

No!
Religions wouldn't know what truth is, if they fell over it.
Totally mystical and irrational.
Forget about it!
