Yet there are non-christians within the party.

Obviously. Apparently, Horowitz is one of them.

So how do you reconcile using the bible as the basis for political ideology?

I hope to make it the singular basis for my ideologies, political and all others.

Regardless, my only and very specific objective was to point out the error in giving the four Gospels and/or the words attributed to Christ more weight than any other part of the bible, as Horowitz does.

While your point is well taken on a christian ideology level I still believe that insisting on political and religious ideology being the same is flawed.

In my opinion the problem today with the separation of church and state is that the church is not holding up its end of the deal. Some feel its ok to try to use religion as a basis for politics.

Perhaps we just need to do away with the 1st Ammd altogether and name the Speaker of the House - 'Lord Cardinal of All the Land' and we can be one happy united people under the same laws and the same God ... at least until the next election ....
