If you're talking about our Founding Fathers, religion very much guided their politics whether in writing the Declaration of Independence (That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator . . .) -- by the way, do you know why the Liberty Bell is called that?-- or the Constitution, where they prayed for guidance using public money to pay for the minister.
I don't think you object to "religion" in politics. I think you object to my religion in politics. And, no, my religion will continue to guide my politics. But as I said earlier, don't despair. There are a lot of people who think like you -- especially in California -- and you very well may end up keeping Gray Davis for another term. Simon, by all accounts, pretty much shares my religious views.
You are more of a fool than I originally thought.
As a Libertarian and someone who is not religious I have to take your side on this issue, which may come as a surprise. I don't believe that it's possible or desirable to keep religious beliefs out of politics. In fact Christians are natural Libertarians (see the excellent post on my home page, "Is Jesus A Libertarian?") Libertarians object only to using government power to force religious beliefs on others.
