I suggest that when unthinking politicians declare religion has no place in political affairs, the public should immediately throw them out of their office.
Who are they to declare themselves independent of Divinity or assume they know how to guide societies better than He .
Take a look at the world led by unthinking politicians who are led by global conglomerates and a  cheating scientific community who are fond of presenting their subjective thinking as objective fact based science.
The Vedas indicates that indeed the theological intelligentsia do not directly lead society, but provide the ethics , morals and sciences of every kind in order for societal progression for everyone based on body , minds , intelligences and consciousness.
The current unthinking exploitative political classes cater only for the bodily demands in a consumer driven world where profits are king and the unguided people are slaves .

Who is who ?

Governance, compliance, and the role of an independent intelligentsia are very well documented in the Vedas.
Society was taken as a whole body.
Without the head , the body has no value and is going nowhere.
The belly , arms, and legs are all valuable parts of the body, no doubt when the intelligence is properly integrated .
Social mobility , consciousness mobility , and systematic and appropriate education for everyone have always been integral within the histories of the Vedic societies , and their applications are well understood by the intelligentsia.
Fraudulent persons , who do not understand the greater picture are posing as the intelligentsia and do great harm to society, but the checks and balances of who is and who isn’t a member of the intelligensia and what their symptoms are are also given within Vedas. .
