Convergence

I started with some quotes about separation of church and state 

“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s” 

If we look deep, we may find a similar quote in our Hindu dharma too. They better be far away, for the sake of everyone concerned.

But looking at the current events, we can't but wonder,  are we going back to history where we have one papal state, one holy muslim state and a holy hindu state, a holy jewish state etc etc.?  

And I am not talking about Taliban - which is a religious/terrorist outfit ruling a country with very little consideration for human rights. I am talking about barbaric anti-abortion law one of states in usa. I am talking about right wing people gaining popularity and/or part of the government many places all over the world. 

The utter chaos caused by the pandemic may not be the only reason why people are searching for solace in God and religion. Does God make people feel safer. Than their families, than the governments, than the police? I have no clue.
