The prayer breakfast as religious-political fact

Abstract

The prayer breakfast is an important political and religious event. The fact that it is a political event is of common knowledge. But the other one, that it is religious too, is not clearly marked in the Serbian political and social science. This is due to the fact that our society is secularized and educated for longtime that religion is dying and can not affect politics. The prayer breakfast is evidence that it is not true. Because prayer breakfast as religious manifestation affects the political life of the United States. On the other hand, U.S. politics affects the rest of the world. That is why the National Prayer Breakfast is significant foreign policy institutions.

Molitveni doručak je važan političko-verski događaj. Činjenica da se radi o političkom događaju je opštepoznata. Ali ona druga da je i verski nije dovoljno istaknuta u srpskoj političkoj i društvenoj nauci. To je posledica činjenice da je naše društvo sekularizovano i godinama vaspitavano da religija odumire i da ne može uticati na politiku. Molitveni doručak je dokaz da to nije tako i da religija mnogo deluje na politički život SAD. Samim tim mnogo utiče i na ostali svet. Zato što je Molitveni doručak značajna spoljno-politička institucija.
