This research explores the complex relationship between church and state. Although politics and religion are viewed as two separate entities in an American context, the two institutions are inherently similar to one another, as they both strive to nourish a righteous society and citizenry. Religion accomplishes this through the prayer, values, and example that authorities preach, while politics does such by enacting civil pieces of legislation. Throughout this paper, I will explore four major American religions—Evangelicalism, Mormonism, Judaism and Quakerism—and their theological stance on three pressing political issues—reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, and racial relations. While the individual followers’ opinions may vary from faith to faith, the general theology of the Evangelical and Mormon faiths lean more toward the traditional side and the Jewish and Quaker faiths are more progressive. It is interesting to see how pious scripture has a profound impact on religious viewpoints too. When examining the faiths’ connection to the issues, there is sometimes a blurred line between perspectives relating to the political realms and the religious realms. The fact that religious organizations hold an opinion on social issues in the first place demonstrates this multifaceted relationship between governmentality and religiosity. The separation of church and state that is apparent in an American perspective, however, is extremely beneficial to the citizenry and the state of the union because it allows religion and politics to be viewed as individualistic institutions. With such separation, political engagement is encouraged, since there is no government enforced faith guiding decisions, and religious institutions are able to gain authority and credibility, because they are not dictated by political affairs. Throughout this research, I argue that the separation between church and state encourages religiosity and fosters a well versed, meaningful citizenry and democracy. In proving this claim, I analyze the theological standpoints, religious scripture, voting patterns, trends, and denominational statements regarding the Evangelical, Mormon, Jewish and Quaker perspectives on reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ rights and racial relations.
