Religion and Politics

[ChristineES]

Does your religious views inform your political views, or does your political views inform your religious views? Or are the two mutaully separate as far as you are concerned?

How does religion or politics inform the other of the two for you?

I have to say that for me, the 2 are totally separate. I am neither Democrat nor Republican- I don't even like politics. Besides, my husband is political enough for the both of us (he is a conservative)

So religion does not inform your political views, or views on social issues at all?

You're allowed to vote, but you will not actively participate - you won't work for one particular political party, you won't hand out fliers or the like? Do I have that correct?

We don't get involved in anything partisan, no! So you're correct.

We have unity as our primary goal, and such activities tend merely to divide people.

The sole exception is anything clearly stated in the Baha'i scriptures. We always advocate education and racial harmony, for example!
