A large portion of the Political functioning of Religious education has hidden connections between a particular religious higher education curriculum and social, cultural power in that society. In order to understand why religious conflict exists, one has to understand the link between the different levels of underlying causes. Often, conflict is a disagreement based on one or more combinations of unmet psychological needs, such as identity, security, control, recognition, fairness, between two or more parties. We do know more about the big religious events than we do know about the concrete role of political and ideological causes in creating conflict in our society. The contradiction and the interrelation within the Christian, so called fundamental rights and the progressive left, and between the religion and the political ideological superstructure are the ultimate determinants of the social conflict in Korea. Even in the Christians they are not sure who could trust for politics involved. Their political influence meant to economical interests, status, prestige, as well, which led to conflict in the society. Many people concern about the rise of fundamentalism and military expressions of religion, specially, in the case of Christians.
The role of politics of education and religions is very important matters towards sustainable peace in Korea. But usually people pay less concerns, especially in Korea until this year, when the new M.B. Lee regime begun. Through curriculum and other university activities that practices, and the courses they opened in a higher educational institute, they reinforce and regenerate their religious power, specially, in the foundations by religious groups. Students are to be socializing values of that religion. Students is to learn to treat the privileges for their own religion and to resist other. This paper tried to analyze the politics that shape and regulate the religious ideology and to find the starting point of religious peace and reconciliation in Korea.
