Religion should play no part in lawmaking, although those who make the law may in some cases feel guided by their personal religious beliefs. Laws should be made for all people in the community, and can reflect the moral and ethical values of the entire community, without imposing specific religious values on those who do not follow the dominant religion of the community.
Religion was government
theocracy
Religion was the basis for government as well as private life.
A government dominated by a single religion is usually referred to as a theocracy. In a theocracy, religious leaders or religious laws hold political power and influence government policies and decisions.
A Hierarchical religion is a religion where a political influence goes down a hierarchy of ranks. like with Roman Catholic, the pope is 1st then the cardinals and so on. Most of the religions which are meant to exert a political influence on the general public and the government have an internal politics that controls it.
The Pharaoh is the highest priest and government official. also the Pharaoh was believed to be half god and man and the child of the gods
Both, but mostly the latter.
No. It is secular. The Founding Fathers very wisely looked at the history of religion in government and the abuses it causes to the individual. They wanted to insure that there was no state sponsored religion so they set up a government that was free of religious requirements to run for office, make decisions, and to run the government. The influence of religion in government has led to abuses in the past and by stating that the individual has the freedom of religion they set up a system to guarantee that the individual may worship any way they want. This makes the US government secular and guarantees that the people do not have a state sponsored religion.
Religion has immeasurably influenced the government as religion has always followed a certain pattern and rules, religion has given the government to follow the same patter and a well-defined path, so people won't rebel against their law because it accepts their religious belief, as religion has combined a pack of community to follow the similar belief in their religious and social life, without introducing any new beliefs.
i think the major influence in Hindu is the gods and the religion followings and believes.
Back in the days of Constantinople, the Orthodox Church was highly involved in government and politics. Even though there was separation of Church and State, the Church exercised considerable influence in the government of Constantinople.
People's religions influence their sense of justice and moral uprightness, so many religious Israelis vote their faith.
