Is it possible to separate politics from religion?

The separation of politics and religion is a contentious issue and there is no simple answer. While some argue that religion and politics should be separate to avoid potential conflicts, others believe that one's religious beliefs should inform their political views.

As for whether traits like compassion, pacifism, peace, and love are political, it depends on the context. These traits can certainly be important in political discourse and can shape one's political beliefs and actions. However, they are not necessarily inherently political in and of themselves. They are more commonly thought of as moral or ethical values that can inform political decisions.
