What does politics have to do with Religion?

Religion has got nothing to do essentially with Politics.
Religion is for solving the ethical, moral and spiritual issue of the humanity. Right, please?
What politics did Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Jesus and Socrates etc play?

Yes, if nothing else, it's policy is to supports the state in the secular domain. Is that the only policy? If so, it is similar to the divine right of kings. It is just chauvinist dogma without a deity.

I don't agree with one that it is displaying aggressive or exaggerated patriotism. I believe in God and it is just a peaceful and appropriate principle for a religion not to be unnecessary aggressiveness with the state:

[4:59] Verily, Allah commands you to make over the trusts to those entitled to them, and that, when you judge between men, you judge with justice. And surely excellent is that with which Allah admonishes you! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
[4:60] O ye who believe! obey Allah, and obey His Messenger and those who are in authority among you. And if you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger if you are believers in Allah and the Last Day. That is best and most commendable in the end.

Kindly elaborate one's grievance, if any, with this peaceful and appropriate principle, please.

Regards

Then "the Truthful Religion" must have policies other than supporting the state in the secular domain. If that is the only policy, it would constitute aggressive or exaggerated patriotism, because everything else would be subjugated to supporting the state in the secular domain.

Neither the secular domain interferes with the religious, nor the vice versa.

How is that? Religion generally speaks of activities that take place in the secular domain, unless it does not involve the regulating of morality in the secular domain at all. Are one's activities in the secular domain not effected by "the Truthful Religion"?
