  • Don't talk about politics or religion? Hold my communal wine.
    Sep 17 2025

    Explore the complex and often contentious relationship between religion and politics in this thought-provoking video.

    I delve into the ways in which religious beliefs and practices intersect with political ideologies, examining the implications for individuals, communities, and societies as a whole. From the role of faith in shaping public policy to the influence of political power on religious expression, I consider the multifaceted dynamics at play when religion meets politics.

    Join me as I navigate this fascinating and sometimes fraught terrain, seeking to understand the opportunities and challenges that arise when these two powerful forces converge.

    Whether you're interested in the history of religious-political interactions, the current state of affairs, or the potential future implications, this video aims to inform, educate, and inspire reflection on a topic that is both deeply personal and profoundly public.
