This article examines the profound influence of religion on political behaviour, analyzing how religious beliefs, practices, and affiliations shape political attitudes and actions. By exploring various case studies and theoretical frameworks, we reveal the complex interactions between religion and politics, highlighting the impact of religious institutions, doctrines, and community dynamics on voter behaviour, policy preferences, and civic engagement. We argue that understanding the intersection of religion and politics is essential for comprehending contemporary political landscapes, especially in pluralistic societies where diverse religious beliefs coexist.
