With the huge rise of the Pentecostal movement in Australia and the success the Family First Party (a conservative Australian Christian party) had on the last Australian election, I pondered the effect religion has on politics, and visa versa.
The title of the thread says it all: should politics and religion mix? Personally, I find it disgusting that politicians would use religion to suit their own gain and manipulate scriptures to justify their actions.
I would love to hear your responses.
