There is a fine line between religious stubborness, and the use and enjoyment of religion as a moral and ethical standard. Too often, religion is (and has been) used as a bludgeon, rather than as a tool to elevate, enrich, and improve a persons life. Though I believe that religion should not play an overt role in politics, by its very nature it will affect one’s political stance by the sheer force of moral persuasion. Whether that religious belief be Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, apparently (and quite obviously) makes all the difference in the world!
