Our religious convictions are central to our being, and so of course they must influence our political choices. Politics should never be a substitute for religion; it should never be a source for giving one's life meaning. You need to find that elsewhere.

The problem becomes when we think of politics as being anything more than people getting together to solve practical problems of common concern. Whenever it becomes a religious project, it usually corrupts both politics and religion.
