Religion is a controversial topic. Over the years multiple religions have emerged around the world. I also began to look at how much religion has influenced society of the years. In class we talked about the boundary lines that are created by religion. In every religion their are certain guidelines on how to live your life, and explanations for things that you probably can't understand. In our current society we constantly preach the ideal that religion and government separate. I personally believe that religion and government should be separate. I think that fact that people have so many different religious beliefs and morals that it would basically create chaos if one group tries to govern. I think that in many aspects religion and government do overlap. One of many controversial topics today is gay marriage/ same-sex marriage. According to certain religions marriage defined as a union between a male and a female. Also that homosexuality is frowned upon. On the other hand people raise the argument that according to the law everyone deserves equal rights, dispute their sexual orientation. So the overarching question that arises is:

How separate is religion and government?
Where exactly do we draw the line between religion and government when they do overlap?
