It's really challenging when things start to mix that have no business of mixing. I find that politics and government itself is becoming more of a religion, with people defending their beliefs just as strongly as they do in mainstream religion. I think it's happening now more in many countries around the world, with the church fusing more into government than before, though it's always had a really strong hand in it.

I agree. I think that religions become as a training camp for political fanaticism. People trust politicians against their best judgements an against empirical evidence of their reliability or good will with the same pasión they believe in an all powerful god who year after year, decade after decade, century after century decides that the time is not right to use his powers and do some justice while convincing some skeptics.
In Venezuela I think that the leftist ideology will eventually control every religious institution. They do it now by force and intimidation (with some exceptional voices speaking up here and there), but if they remain in power the time will come that their ideologues will actually occupy every space or position
