There is no place for religion in public life.
Political "life". Not public. People have the RIGHT to "publicly" profess any sort of beliefs.

And politicians have the right to talk about religion and bring religion into politics. It's the government that has no business bringing religion into the government in any official way.

If Bush is religious and wants to talk about his religion, that's fine. He has freedom of religion. He just shouldn't be religious in an official capacity.

Leading writers in the movement are:

Greg L. Bahnsen of the Southern California Center for Christian Studies.
David Chilton. He adopted hyper-preterism, (a.k.a. full or complete perterism) a particular belief about end time events. He was basically ostracized from the Christian Reconstruction camp afterwards.
Gary DeMar.
Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr.
Gary North of the Institute for Christian Economics. He is a prolific author.
Larry Pratt: head of the Gun Owners of America and English First, a group opposed to non-English speaking immigrants and bilingual education. Author of "Armed People Victorious" which documents Guatemalan and Philippine militias and para-military death squads. He was campaign co-chair of the Buchanan presidential campaign in 1996.
John Quade.
Rousas John Rushdoony of the Chalcedon Foundation is often considered the founder of Christian Reconstructionism. Author of Institutes of Biblical Law.
Rev. Andrew Sandlin.
And just which of these wackos has any effect on the election? Hmmm, I don't see the sky falling.
