Why is religion involved in politics?

Why is religion involved in politics?
I know that a lot of people here does not agree with mixing religion and politics.

What a lot of people don't know is that especially for Christianity religion and politics should not be intertwined at all. If anything it forbids Christians to be involved in politics. So why is there an involvement?

People like Hitler and many rulers before him used Religion as a bridge to reach the people.

I really do not blame religion at all for the involvement of religion in politics. It is the other way around I believe that it is the government using religion as a bridge just like every ruler in the past to manipulate them and sway their votes their way.

I do not know if this is negative or positive. I see it as truth that religion and the state should remain separated for the sake of the Church. What are your thoughts?
