Political Affiliations in Religious Traditions Across the World The political liberalism and conservatism as well as the political affiliations of religious groups, leaders, and practices gives an extremely interesting new world to delve much thought into. Particularly three types of religious affiliations are the topic of study in this case, the Christian belief system, the Islamic, and the Hindu traditions. These three religions are the largest in the world with millions of people across many nations who share these religious similarities. Delving into the moral obligations, values, and expectations of these religious and seemingly large groups could give insight into histories of populations, democracy, moral codes, and even reasons of warfare. Looking at the smallest detail can reap the mightiest harvest. The serious consideration of the political spheres of conservative, liberal, and radical tendencies in each of these religions will be a very informational way to sort and discover these tendencies. An important introduction to this interesting conundrum is what exactly would be considered liberal, conservative, and radical and which ideas of these three very different ideals can be considered the true definitions. Many different places throughout the world have different names for the American ideas of liberal versus conservative, and the term radical can have interesting connotations anywhere in the world. The most important thing to understand in this research is that there are huge polarities varying because of the different regions in the world. In the U.S., women wearing pants and letting their hair show is nowhere close to appealing to liberal or radical extremes it would be considered normal and not talked of in those terms, but, in places with different cultures,
