How might political parties and politicians influence an individual’s political beliefs? Political parties concentrate on their religious activities and seek to expand them by appealing to people's religious beliefs. Political parties utilize their religious influence to erode the people's cultural values. Religious views influence a wide range of values held by citizens. Social values such as attitudes about homosexuality, women's roles, the essence of good and evil, and family and marriage, in particular, are strongly related to religion.
