Since the Democratic candidates claim to belong to a religion, does religion have any impact on their decision

Question

beardog great answer!

Answer 1

religion shouldnt make any difrenece in politics and i think the democrats are much better than the republicans because they act as american people not as a religist american party with only war in mind

Answer 2

The same can easily be asked of Republicans. Politicians in general are all a bit two-faced in that regard. Why would it matter what religion they claim, if they're going to ignore it when they get into office?

Answer 3

Hopefully not, politicians should make decisions on the needs of the american people and the nation as a wghole. but this is not how bush acts. he doesn't give crap about what the american people need.

Answer 4

No, religion should have nothing to do with their civil service; although I'm sure it impact their personal decisions.

Answer 5

I would imagine all of them would be prepared to make thier executive desicions based on the good of the country - not thier own religous beliefs. Pity the same cannot be said of Bush.

Answer 6

I would hope that any politician would make decisions first based on the law, then based on the needs of their constituents, and only last based on their religious beliefs.

Sadly, that rarely happens.

Answer 7

yeah as long as it's politically correct at whatever debate question they're answering and however many votes they think their answer will buy them.

Answer 8

What decision?

Answer 9

it shouldn't, hence that little rule, "separation of church and state"

Answer 10

It should not.
