I'm not a Christian, but I think the Christian message is a good one.

I feel like my message is to let people know that God is a good God, that He's on their side, and no matter what happens, He has a great plan for them.

I love religion.

I think that we are at a point in our country where we're trying to decide what role should religion play in the political arena.

I am not here to parade my religious sentiments, but I declare I have too much respect for the faith in which I was born to ever use it as the basis of a political organization.

I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.

I don't set out to transmit a message. I don't write with a political point of view. There are no religious overtones. Looking back at my books, I can say, 'Oh, yes, it is there.' But it's not in my mind when I write.

I don't want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message.

If you really believe in the message you're preaching, you want as many people as possible to listen.

Spirituality is the foundation of all my political work.
