Politics and the Globe

"The important thing is neither your nationality nor the religion you professed, but how your faith translated itself in your life." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Where we draw our political lines is often the product of deeply held beliefs. Religion, or our lack of religion, informs who we vote for, what is important to us, and how we see the world. Here at Patheos many of our writers explore these connections and reflect on how they affect politics on a global scale. Following is a selection of our newest stories in concert with a curated selection of some of the most popular stories in Politics and the Globe.
