This essay aims to highlight the contribution of two outstanding religious leaders towards moderating the religious and political conflict in a society driven by a highly complex identity. In today's Western-liberal world, there is a growing tendency to exclude religious language from the political discourse. This article argues for the opposite view. In a society divided into two camps, religious and secular, a significant contribution towards easing the tensions can be made through the efforts of religious authorities who are highly influential in their communities, are open to modern realities, and believe that it is possible to interpret classical religious texts in a way that strives to establish harmony, or at least to ease tensions, between religion and the institutions of the state.
