It should have no bearing on it ,as long as the Elected know they are bound by the Constitution to keep a separation of Church & State. This in its self would I think detour those who hold any Religious Belief, How Ever a True Christian knows that Seperation of Church and State is a God ordained Law. Since Jesus him self scorned the Religious, who believed all rituals should be up held. Christians have Access to God and do not need Rituals or Moral Legeslation.

Those who established this country had religious beliefs. Some liberals have religious beliefs. I do not see where liberals are seeking to deny Christians of anything. They are just trying to change things so that Christianity is not opposed on all people (i.e. "one nation under God", prayer in the classroom and the 10 Commandment posted around courthouses).

Personally, I don't think these things HAVE to be removed. First Amendment right is the freedom of expression. If you support it, good for you, do it; if you don't support it, don't do it, pay it no mind.

The US Constitution on "separation of church and state" has been totally missunderstood for years. In no way shape or form does the US Constitution provide that the US Government can not recognize God as creator. It does provide that the US Government shall not recognize any organized "religion" as the official religion of the United States. The problem is that groups like the ACLU, Moveon.org, etc. want to take ALL forms of religion, especially Christianity out of this country. Christianity is the largest "organized" religion in the United States, and it is the most visible, that is why it is being targeted. Also, Satan will do anything to stop people from believing and following Jesus Christ and God.

Keeping religion out of politics is a necessary move to minimize the possibility of voters making political decisions based on faith. They are two separate entities, and any politician tying religion into his/her agenda is abusing both the position and the faith. It's not a question of prohibiting people in gov. from having faith, it's one of keeping them from using it for an advantage.

Liberals are not trying to prevent Christians from voting.

The government does not disallow religious belief, it just works to be sure the two are separated when it comes to exercising the law.

Only if they use their religious beliefs to govern those that don't believe in their religion.Separation of church and state isn't something the democrats made up.

I don't think there is any question about it Christian religious freedom at all. Of course that also means Muslim, Baha'i, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish-and so on- religious freedom.

That is yet another unique and fortuitous aspect of our social political experiment.

Something, I believe is worth protecting at any cost.

Hogwash. Liberals believe everyone has a right to vote and participate in politics. Anything you have heard different is baloney.
