Does anyone have any birthrate data on religious vs non-religious Americans? I suspect the former are breeding faster than the latter, and that in a few generations, the majority of voters will be members of that "extreme" group..

I think the main pivot question that all this crap revolves around is this:

Is it acceptable and constitutional for leaders to consult their faith and deeply-held beliefs in the discharge of their government duties?

This is a crucial question because, while no one wants a forced Theocracy, to deny the tenets of one's faith and to completely wipe out all traces of God from public decisions, we will effectively ensure that all future crucial public decisions will be made by people with no faith and no relationship with God. And that's bad. I don't think this country's founders would agree to that.
