Rip... in the society we need to comply the Law to bring harmony & for the social growth of it. here comes the politics that enable the civil society follow a direction where if the individual interest is superseded to the society's interest.
and if I have the Faith in my religion which is providing me the codes of life [how to walk, eat, drink, sleep, marry, bargain, deal with others, trade, earn, spend, how to give charities etc]. and i believe these codes/Laws are Divine; I'll follow. And my like minded living near me will do so to make a fellow society.
I think in this asking we need to know, "what is politics?"
We mostly use misnomer of the Politics,
