And I said they didn't...where?
Here:
"Some people are so into their religion that instead of just practicing it, they have to turn every non-religious organization and activity into an extention of that religious practice."
No, it wasn't a direct denial, but the effect is the same as "I'm not a perfectionist, I just want it done right."
If this doesn't mean "stay out of politics" I don't know what it means.
