How Belief Systems Effect Politics

             The belief systems of the modern world have helped determine the policies and politics of
             nations around the world. For centuries before, and almost definitely for decades after now,
             there will be disputed between people and countries on account of their faith. Religions have
             started wars, ended them, impacted, and persuaded people. Needless to say, beliefs are very

             the irony of the Jews and Muslims disputing over a Christian site, the focal point of the quarreling
             is that such a site will bring. The Pope and Prince Charles have already scheduled a visit, but
             as of now, no resolve has come about.
