Religion and politics: how do they influence each other?

Religion and politics - these two areas could often not be more different and yet they influence each other in different ways. In the past, legislation in many countries was often influenced by religious values (e.g. abortion, marriage or euthanasia), but nowadays the situation is different depending on the country. What do you think about this interplay? Let us know!

What do you think: How much do religious beliefs influence political decisions or voting behavior in this country? Do you think it is important to keep religion and politics strictly separate or do you also see something positive in a connection? How do you think politicians should deal with religious beliefs when it comes to laws and policies? We look forward to your comments!
