The current issue of The Economist has a special section on religion in politics across the globe entitled "In God's Name". I've only managed to skim through it so far but it looks very good. In their own words:
"This special report is an attempt to tease out these conflicts. It comes with three health warnings. First, many numbers in religion are dodgy: most churches inflate their support and many governments do not record religion in their censuses (in Nigeria the best source is health records). Second, in a field where many believers claim to know all the answers, it poses mainly questions. And lastly, given the emotion the subject arouses, the chances are that some of what follows will offend you."
Happy reading!
