I think it would be very difficult to be a Christian and be in politics. Firstly, you're not supposed to lie....

I don't doubt that there are plenty of religious people who don't support Dobson, Falwell et al. I want to know who will
oppose them. If a nonreligious person, or even a person who doesn't mention their religion in public, opposes one of the religious demagogues, they get written off as an evil secularist who hates religion. We need a coalition of religious leaders willing to do the hard work of getting the attention of the fickle media, and explaining to everyone that religion and government poison each other. Right now, the demagogues are the public face of religion's role in government, and they have little opposition from other religious leaders.
