Religious
Religions and religious organizations are a particular domain of gun politics. They may have official policies, doctrines, dogma, philosophies and interpretations which impact their political views towards guns, either in favor or against. Their gun politics might or might not be focused at legal changes but may focus more on ethical or social behavioral changes and beliefs. The basis for their arguments may be based on dogma and philosophy specific to their belief system. For instance, the Holy See's representative to the UN, Archbishop Celestina Miglore, faced a protest by a group known as the St. Gabriel Possenti Society, opposing the Papal endorsement for the promotion of disarmament.

Famous quotes containing the word religious:
“It is not woman who claims the highest in man. It is a man’s own religious soul that drives him on beyond women, to his supreme activity. For his highest, man is responsible to God alone.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“... these great improvements of modern times are blessings or curses on us, just in the same ratio as the mental, moral, and religious rule over the animal; or the animal propensities of our nature predominate over the intellectual and moral. The spider elaborates poison from the same flower, in which the bee finds materials out of which she manufactures honey.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
“Adjoining a refreshment stand ... is a small frame ice house ... with a whitewashed advertisement on its brown front stating, simply, “Ice. Glory to Jesus.” The proprietor of the establishment is a religious man who has seized the opportunity to broadcast his business and his faith at the same time.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
