Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we started from relatively simple ideas, often superficially treated, but with strong meanings. Is religion a taboo subject? Many commentators and political scientists don`t talk about the relationship between religion and politics, considering them as two totally opposite things. In the first phase, this is the answer that each of us would give, but approaching the subject in a broader spectrum, we will notice that things are different. It is true that religion has always been a universal factor in shaping human history and shouldn’t be associated with political controversies and disputes.
