Help with use of in and into

Religion should in all cases not be brought in to politics. If the Bangladesh National Party must out the fictitious list to prove a point then do so, but do not bring religious emotions of Bangladeshi into the debate.

I would like to focus on the use of in to and into in to in the above paragraph. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.


Thank you.

I would use 'brought into', but there may be a case for accepting 'brought in to' as well if you think of 'bring in' as a phrasal verb. In some sentences it's very clear that 'in to' should be used: to tune in to a radio station to give in to demands to turn (someone) in to the police But I find this one ambiguous, so I would accept either form here.
