Exactly what 'influence' do you think faith should have in employment and goverment?

Personally I'd like to see protections for employers who would rather employ workers who have been taught values like thou shall not steal or lie, and more reliance on faith charities to help solve problems like drug addiction and poverty are a step in the right direction. Ultimately that is for the people to decide, but I think legislation protecting the rights of Boy Scouts to meet in school is a step in the right direction.

Employers are currently free to fire employees who steal or lie. Anyone who wants to rely on a faith based charity is free to do so.

Any evidence for the contention that Christians are less likely to steal or lie than anyone else?

Personally I'd like to see protections for employers who would rather not employ workers who have been taught that killing all the first born children of Egypt was a good thing.
