“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men."

You can be religious without bending a knee to a man of the cloth


These men are precisely why so many people turned away from God over the centuries


So while this sounds hypocritical it isn’t


Upholding Christian principles doesn’t require obeying some old man in a robe


In that sense religion should in fact stay out of politics.
But the core values themselves can stay

Freedom of religion is not freedom from religion. What part of Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof isn't understood? And if Sean Penn and John Cusack can have opinions about politics, to can Franklin Graham and the Pope.

Religion is part of politics sadly, you can't keep them separate if enough hold such views and cause religion is hypocritical yup it does lead to such meme above.
It's just used to affront an agenda of the beholder.

Sometimes it is good to bring religion into politics, sometimes it isn't. It just depends on the issue. And it also depends on the specific religious belief. Let me know if you have a specific political issue that you would like to discuss.
