... "life", "religion", & "politics" are NOT co-extensive.
"Life" is the big box.
"religion" and "politics" are perhaps intersecting circles within this big box.
I am reminded of this - again - following "The Music Man".
Me - I'm a radical progessive.
... I also sing in a Lutheran choir... (tho' I characterize myself as "agnostic": for me the proposition, "God exists" is undecideable)
But - I know for sure that at least one of my cast-mates is a Baptist Sunday-school teacher... who's also a "G-Obama" Democrat.
And - one of my cast-mates included in the programme bio:
"Initium sapientiae timor domini." ("The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord.")
Did we fight endlessly? Were we at odds constantly?
Was the show a horrible experience for having to confront one another???
No!
Life, politics, and religion are NOT coextensive!
This is a good thing.
