    Not really, politics isn’t (or shouldn’t) be about ‘faith’

    It’s pretty clearly an argument-based field where people use statistics + policies to explain why a certain political platform would materially benefit the demographics that the platform appeals to. Religion is much more impactful on an ideological scale than politics, which is more material.

    I mean, politics is also deeply ideological but very few religious beliefs are based around material improvements. The ones that are are more about making people feel good or bad about their material standing rather than advocating for changes that would impact the material conditions

    With all that being said, it is true that a lot of people treat politics as faith. Which is unfortunate bc- While faith can and is often community based, faith can also be said to be much more about the individual than politics, which is NEVER operating on an individual-level

    politics are modern day religion for a lot of people, especially in the US its crazy

    “ Religion is much more impactful on an ideological scale than politics, which is more material.”
    At least where I live people are way more political than religious and political beliefs really are a function of where you live. Also religion doesn’t require faith either it requires experience

    No one is experiencing Jesus/Muhammed/Diety of choice coming down from the heavens and telling them their religion is the true one so therefore faith definitely is a factor

    Islam is obviously the only true religion, bible was changed

    It's basically the Wayans brothers version of the Bible though which is already a s*** book.

    This recent smugness of Islam superiority is weird. A religion that's a rip off a s*** religion (Christianity)that's already ripping off a religion (Old Testament) that Islam now hates.

    Weird times

    all 3 abrahamic religions (can’t speak for others) can be described exactly how you described politics right there. It’s just in the late stage capitalist west those lifestyles aren’t really present and/or attainable. they are very much (intended to be) lifestyles you lead in this life to improve your life materially

    It’s a couple religions that don’t invalidate others in their teachings. I think you think the only religions that exist are the Abrahamic ones or something

    The rest are basically independent label ones though. Cute but nobody really cares.

    For the record, I grew up in a strongly religious Catholic environment- but now I’m more idealistic than spiritual (which I’m much closer to than being religious). I place some faith in there being ‘something’ soul-like that connects people to the universe, but don’t put much stock in there being any distinct deity that ‘created’ the universal. Though there is some possibility to me of a deity composed of the universal rather than distinct from it, which does correspond to some religions but I still couldn’t pick out one from the rest to follow

    Lmaooo crazy comparison

    It’s true though, the most popular religions will stay popular. I feel like eventually everyone will become agnostic though, that’s like the only reasonable ideology to me if you haven’t experienced a miracle with your own two eyes
