About This Quote
A people religiously right, will not long remain politically wrong. This quote is a truth that has been proven in history over and over again. Religiously right is a great thing to be, but it is not enough to produce a successful society. In order to make a political mistake, one must make an error in judgement or the way they interact with others.
A good leader must have both the strength to lead with virtue and the knowledge to lead with wisdom. If a leader does not have the strength of character, he will not last very long in politics. In order for a religious person to be politically wrong they must allow themselves to be viewed as wrong by their subjects.
This is one of the reasons that religion is not allowed in politics.
