Politics

Sanatana dharma clearly says that there is only God; so, anything and everything in the Universe can be seen as his expression. This is what is called the "Viraat" swaroopam of God in the Rudram. That only God can then obviously be called by any name: Christ, Allah, Krishna, Bahaiullah, Buddha, etc.
