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:
“Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand—that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The destiny of the whole race is comprised in four things: Religion, education, morals, politics. Woman is a religious being; she is becoming educated; she has a high code of morals; she will yet purify politics.”
—Zerelda G. Wallace (1817–1901)
“A few years ago, the liberal churches complained that the Calvinistic church denied to them the name of Christian. I think the complaint was confession; a religious church would not complain.”
