Aduc si eu ca o mica contributie, doua citate, luate dintr-un context american. In discutie era vorba despre rugaciune si politica.

“I now fear that while public prayer is supposed to ennoble politicians, it may just politicize, and therefore taint, prayer. Instead of uplifting politics, it downgrades religion.”

“By offering prayer in a political context (including asking for prayers related to specific policy goals) Madison said prayer proclamations had politicized a solemn act “to the scandal of religion as well as the increase of party animosities.”
