Is it possible to separate politics from religion?

Jesus said his followers would be no part of the world. I, myself, like the early Christians and modern day Jehovah's Witnesses, am apolitical. Specifically I would die rather than fight in a war, don't vote or in any way try to influence legislation or societal issues.

I may have an opinion on those things but that's as far as it goes. I don't have any faith in mankind's ability to solve his problems through the divisive means of politics.
