Politics and Religion Cartoon - Separation of Church and State Satire #3730764 (License: Personal Use)

In the first panel, a lion labeled “Politics” sits atop a star-adorned pedestal beside a man in top hat and robe labeled “Religious Right,” holding an accordion. In the second panel, the religious figure is gone, his top hat lies discarded, and the lion grins widely while licking its lips-suggesting politics has consumed or abandoned its religious ally. The cartoon critiques the shifting relationship between political power and religious influence in public life.
