It's sad really, in trying to distance himself from conservative Christians he stood up and slapped the very people who helped elect his father. And on top of that, I have read several speeches here the last couple of days where Ronald Reagan spoke very openly about his faith to Christian audiences. I wonder how Ron squares that with someone who uses religion to gain votes?

How is he trying to distance himself from anyone, in talking about his father's sincere Faith?! He certainly was not trying to square his father's sincere Faith, with someone who uses religion to gain votes. The whole point was clearly to distinguish that Faith from the phoney show of poseurs.

It really boggles my mind, that anyone who respects Ronald Reagan, as most Conservatives certainly do, would want to try to pick apart his immediate family's shared reminiscences. It would be very interesting to explore the theology of he or she who feels justified in passing such judgments over a family's way of handling their grief!

Personally, I will pray for their comfort and spiritual peace.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you should explore the very public politics of President Reagan's son before making your own ill informed judgments.
