The reason why religion is getting a voice on many issues is that the politicians do not want to anger the hierarchy within the church because they are going to lose support at election time. The Roman Catholic Church still has an impact on the voting populace.
There is a law that separates state and religion. Unfortunately, on pressing issues, the religions are voicing their concern or want to be relevant to the problem.
But aren't religious movements taking on too many responsibilities? By what canons should they interfere in the secular life of society? Is there really no way to control them? What kind of lawlessness is going on lately? Have people really gone completely mad and are giving in to all these commandments in this way? When a person is educated, he is much less susceptible to these religions, since he understands perfectly well that this is not what he needs.
