Religion and politics, for instance, are two parallel lines that can't meet. They're immiscible. But the principles of the kingdom of God can effectively mix with religion, governance, culture, sports, business, etc.
This was why Jesus likened the kingdom of God to a leaven which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened (Matthew 13:33).
I believe that our institutions can be salvaged from the powers of darkness if we the children of the kingdom can introduce the kingdom lifestyle in the various secular spheres - music, catering, sports, education, culture, fashion, finance, business, etc.
