Write a reflection on two specific examples of how power (political or economic) is exercised through religion: one example needs to refer to something in Canada and the other outside of Canada.

At some points in history, power and religion (by which I mean religious rhetoric/identity) have been so closely intertwined that it is difficult to see them as separate entities. Though Christian Europe developed the notion of the separation of Church and State, this is a) not a universally accepted virtue in all religions around the world, and b) it is doubtful even to what extent Church and State really are separated in places that claim it, such as Canada, US, and western Europe. Write a reflection on two specific examples of how power (political or economic) is exercised through religion: one example needs to refer to something in Canada and the other outside of Canada.
