News like this is what really disturbs me about politics and relgion. There should be no religion in politics. Any news about this disturbs me. The two are totally separate.

Geoffery Layman the author of "The Great Divide: Religious and Cultural Conflict in American Party Politics,"  says in the article that the Republicans can't be the only religious party. I don't understand that statement. If religion and politics are separate entities why are we so into this idea of the vote of people of different religions? 

The religion of voters should not matter in any political race or party, there is no religious party and the mass media of this country and Professor Layman should know that. In case all the religious people out there don't realize, we are not electing a priest, we are electing someone who can run this country.

It shouldn't matter what religion our future president supports whether its Christianity, Buddhism or Atheist, if they are a good leader and have a good plan that makes sense to our needs as a nation they can worship aliens from another planet for all I care as long as their faith does not affect their decisions when it matters.

Faith should never play a part in politics, facts and good decision making based on those facts do, something that many of the people who do vote based on faith and religion do not use when making decisions.

Again, I have posted on and stated it many times, if religions are going to continue to play that big a role in our political system, tax them, all of them. Its a huge revenue stream and the money could be used to fund universal health care and probably have enough left over to help save social security and medicaire.
