22. I don't think they are the same. Politics is necessary to the survival of our
democracy. It it tangible and poor participation can cause the collapse of our country and how it functions so it is vital. People need to be drawn in and kept abreast of what is going on. Participation in religion isn't vital to our country. Religion is whatever it is to the individual. Maybe very important, maybe not. So in a nutshell I see it as we all "have government" because we all need it. The same cannot be said for religion.
