When attempts are not made on time to address the situations, the consequences is that the problems degenerate into uncontrollable stages and they render the system difficult to manage. This paper explored the influence of religion on Nigeria's public and foreign policy making This paper posits that despite the neglect of religion in the discourse of public and foreign politics and policy-making, religion has come to be recognized as an influential aspect of public life globally. It is a significant attribute of public and foreign affairs whose traditions do not exist in seclusion from the political, economic, social or cultural aspects of human existence. The paper has made use of descriptive and historical methods to ganer relevant information coupled with secondary sources which include books, journal articles and other viable materials from the internet. The paper revealed that the positive values of the existing diverse religions could be harnessed while the negative values of unhealthy competition and exclusive principles be downplayed by the various actors of public and foreign policy making in Nigeria so as to maintain a stable and progressive public and foreign relation in building of strong public and foreign policies in Nigeria. It recommended the need for national interest to remain pivotal in the formulation of public and foreign policies irrespective of the population of citizens that subscribe to it
