I'm not a fan of traditional religion or politics. In my opinion, people take the title of being a Democrat or Repblican or Buddhist or Presbyterian and let the title they take on become the reasoning behind their actions. Instead of focusing on what is morally just and humane, they focus on fitting into the mold and don't question the decisions they make and rely on their religion or political party to be substantial reasoning behind whatever they say.
I am an independent Christian, and I feel like it allows me to answer the questions people pose of "What party are you" or "What religious affiliation do you have" but still creates the space for me to make my own decisions and base them on who I am,
Instead of hiding behind these labels and allowing them to guide our choices, we should be making choices that can be guided through our labels.
