In today's religion we see how several things has unfolded it self in the political domain. A situation where political support is largely gain through religious lines. And also a situation where religious leaders are unavoidably entangled with one political saga or the other.
Take for example in my country citizens tend to throw their political support on a candidate whom their religious head have picked interest regardless of the candidate's capacity to deliver.
So my question is how significant is the role of religion in the politics of the world today and how good is the effect on societies so far?
