When Religion Meets the Ballot Box? | Debater Duel

Описание: Should faith guide the soul or the vote?

In this thought-provoking Debater Duel, World Octofinalist Luis Garcia and Worlds Semifinalist Klaudia Maciejewska face off on the motion: “This House believes that religious leaders should not endorse candidates for political office.”

Info Slide:
Religious leaders are people who guide others in their faith, like priests, imams, rabbis, or monks. Political office means a job in the government where someone makes laws or important decisions for the public, like being a mayor, president, or member of parliament.

This debate examines democracy, influence, and freedom of belief:
• Does religious endorsement threaten political neutrality and pluralism?
• Or is it a legitimate form of free speech and moral guidance?

A must-watch for debaters, students, and anyone interested in religion, politics, and civic life.
