Religion used to be govt in ancient times. All religion tries to manipulate believers into their agenda, which now days can be bought.

Was reading some replies to your question.....
Why does anyone who questions religion in the government automatically get pegged as immoral? I dont get it. I dont think you're immoral for asking. It's an interesting question.
As for an answer to your questions: I believe that many politicans "cater" to religious view when running for an office to get the majority of votes and then tend to follow their own agendas. If people think that politicians in general are MORAL people, then they should take a good second look and pull the blinders off. I do belive that many Christains are manipulated by the government into having certain prejudices so that the GOVT can get away with certain activities Then, if anyone questions them, it is a storm of you are unpatriotic, immoral, against freedom, etc etc.... from both the govt, news personel and the community.
People are easily manipulated.

No, you could only blame yourself for that.
Religion is only one of the many emotional issues that governments throughout history have used to divide and control it's citizens.
You could also ask "Does your party affiliation, sexual proclivity, or environmental beliefs make you a pawn.?"
The point is that there's no excuse for being a pawn of the government for any reason. And by the way, you'll never get a "Yes" answer from anyone talking about themselves.
If your question is a swipe at Christians, then I can only speak for myself. I'm a Christian and I think we have the worst group of leaders in power now than we have ever had in our country's history. So my answer is no.

I find that its often those without religion who can't understand the concept of religion and faith. In reality, the answer to your question is quite the opposite than what I assume you think.
With religion, we know that our highest authority is our God. As such, government is secondary to any basic, core belief that we have. Those governments that adhere to our core belief, we support, those is opposition to our belief, we reject.
So, to answer your question, I would say "no".

Only if you are a hardcore christian conservative. You are more likely to agree with bush if you are a WASP than a muslim.
