Should politics be considered a religion?

Yes. It's that important.

it all depend on which religion you are talking about. but know one thing, Christianity is not a religion.

I don;t think you can loose your church but can loose the tax exempt status if an imaginary line is crossed. The tax status is garbage.

First there was no income tax until the early 1900s. Then I think LBJ was running for Senator or something in 1954 and he introduced this concept that churches can't talk about politics and it passed into law. For more accurate accounting look it up on wikipedia. His opponent was backed by churches.

Sue and Shawn Kelly, I thought long and hard about how to respond. On the surface we agree but I never leave things there...I always dig deeper to the heart of the matter and that is why I'm going to ask you this:

Well I would say that technically Yes one it fits any description plus ancient romans emporers made themselves god's And the War in Heaven is a Political War ( imean really do you all think God and Satan were using nukes?)
Of course i wouldn't want Politics classified as a relifion though ,Why give the Politicians another reason to not pay taxes.LOL

There seems to be a similarity. (Conventional) religions argue against each other they are the only true path to God .And so do politicians.

And in both systems, dare I say that one is accusing the other of lies.. Are taxes are the old compulsory tithes? Just my thoughts too ;-)
