Question

Robert · Accepted Answer

Answer-
Religion has always played a very vital role in the society either for good or for bad and we can find a lot of example wherein government is using it every efficiently to divide the society and ripe the maximum benefit out of it. Let’s take a current example from Mr. Obama’s presidential election tour wherein he said that religious faith should be used to ‘tackle moral problems’ but not ‘divide the nation’ and that religious leaders use faith to exploit what divide the society, I will like to ask him that since when the society started acting together in the same direction if the discussion is on ‘moral problem’ and there is no point discussing or associating religion with politics because it will only end up in creating divide among people which in general will not be fruitful for any society and country as whole in future.
