Is religion merely politics of the weak?

Sometimes. Karl Marx said that Religion is the opium of the masses. Some politicians uses people's vulnerability. In this way, it can be a politics of the weak.

No. Followers are strong to lead the weak.

Politics of the week and weak are sunni killing shia all for the sake of allah. islam:The worlds fastest growing political party.

No, communism could be called that, all the weak guys ganging up on the strong.

To a lot of people, their Religion IS their Politics, but to me, and many other Christians, our Religious Faith is so Important in our Lives that it will Play a Large Part in How we Vote.

Sweet Willy, that was Carl Marx.

Are you kidding? With all the bad-mouthing and other abuse we get, people who believe in God have to be STRONG, not weak.

I have never heard the notion before.

Interesting, but no...that is not religion.

I vote spirituallity where God guides you from the inside and no reliigion tells you any thing

Yes, and the meek will inherit the earth. Because being meek equates to being weak.

It's not politics, it is an intellectual crutch. Those too weak minded to see the world the way it really is, turn to religion to answer those tough questions. Of course those answers are ALWAYS wrong, but they are simple and childish so most christians don't question them...
