I’m talking about contradictions that can arise between religion and politics.
If their religion says to be charitable to the poor, but their politics say to starve the poor, they’ll starve the poor. If their religion says to love their neighbor, but their politics tells them to hate their neighbor, they’ll hate their neighbor. When there’s a contradiction between religion and politics, they’ll choose politics and then work backwards from there to justify it religiously.
Contradiction with religious folk is often boiled down to “if I don’t believe the contradiction exists then it must not exist!”
