Combining Religion And Politics Can Be Profitable

Despite what you may think, hear, or believe ... the combination of religion and politics can be profitable. This has been, and is constantly proven throughout the history of humanity.

You may hear of, or believe in the separation of church and state. You may hear of, or believe in not discussing politics or religion. However, the combination of religion and politics has proven to be very profitable, and will continue to do so.

Many well known people of the clergy have proven this to be true over and over again. In fact, many of them are best known through their practice of combining religion and politics. Here are just a few examples, and a point to ponder.

However, a most notable, but hidden reason is merely because many people want to egotistically have bragging rights to the fact they attend the same facility as the politician.

When a worship facility's congregation, and attendance grows, so does its revenues as tithes, offerings, and donations. Again, here we see proof that combining religion and politics can be profitable. Do facilities of worship encourage its members and congregation to vote for certain politicians? Of course they do! Who benefits from such practice? The politicians and the worship facilities both benefit in many ways.

Take a look at the Vatican, and you can easily see this is a large example of the combination of religion and politics being profitable.
