Hell, there have always been issues where faith would try to influence politics.

Poland is a funny example in this case. It's no secret that the majority of the citizens are christians, probably half the nation is catholic. This gives the church and their representatives a lot of space for public demands on certain problems like abortions, gay relationships etc.

In Poland we have a guy called Jerzy Owsiak that organizes massive charities for all kinds of purposes, starting with feeding the poor and ending with buying some hospitals brand new equipment so that they could open a new ward for sick children.

And every effing year the church goes on that this guy is a menace to society because he worships the devil, that he's a crook, that he kills baby seals and whatever else they can think of. They try to cancel his charities by claiming that the people gathering the money are used as slaves and whatnot. Worst of all? 5 years ago when Poland was ruled by a right winged conservative party, filled to the brim with "righteous catholics", the politicians tried to cancel his charity and put him in jail using the same arguments the church does.

Yes, pulling faith into politics is actually the worst that can happen.

Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.
