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?
As far as am concerned, politics has nothing to do with religion, there are many religious practice across the world but that doesn't change the personality of any of the representing candidate to do better and perform well, if people are truly practicing what their respective religion dictates for them, there could be no any reason to find out any form of misconducts below expectations of what the people expects from them.
