Boy do you need a lesson in reading comprehension and/or lessons in America history!

The FFs and our Constitution prohibits a national religion...that's it.They never said anything at all about not involving religious peoples on politics.

Much later on,laws were passed,to prohibit politicking, BY CANDIDATES,in churches and temples;however,the Dems have totally IGNORED this for as long as it's been around.Papa Joe Kennedy spread so much "walking around money",in Southern black churches and did so so OPENLY,that EVERYONE knew about it at the time.And Catholic churches had sermon after sermon preaching how everyone just HAD to vote for that JFK.

algore "preached" (gave political harangues,sounding like REVEREND LEROY,from the old Flip Wilson T.V. show)at so many black churches,that he imagined that he WAS A "reverend",in 2000.

Getting a list,is far different from any and all of that and in noway has anything at all to do with a "THEOCRACY"!

And as an aside,up until rather recently,there was written into law,that political office holders had to be Protestant.Sooooooooooooooo...have we always lived in a theocracy,then?

What written law are you referring to? The Constitution clearly states that there should be no "religious test" to hold office.
