Religious leaders are role models, the people that follows them tends to believe in what ever they say because they think they hear from God directly. It will be bad if such person tell his congregants that God said and the things God said did not come to pass. It questions the faith of the people.
Religious leaders have used name of God in politics and there is no results. What does such act do to the congratulation. Let religious leaders stay away from politics.i think it's better that way
According to the Bible history Christians did not neglected politics. If leading a country was a sin or will lead to sin, people like David, Solomon wouldn't have had interest to be leaders of their country, and they did very as leaders because they have the truth in them.
According to Bible it's say when the righteous rules the people rejoice,
If truly this is what the Bible says I don't see why Christians will see politics as something that is not good, Christians need to involve in politics. Most Christians allow ignorance and too much believe not to allow them to do right things. You don't expect unrighteous people to rule and think good things will come .
