Politics in America is the binding secular religion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Religion, for better or for worse, has been politicized in blatant ways that have seldom been equaled in American elections.
Politicians use religion, and they get their troops riled up with 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.
Politics is really religion. Politics is about sacredness. Politics is about offering a vision that will bind the nation together to pursue greatness.
As a politician who cherishes religious conviction in his personal sphere, but regards politics as a domain belonging outside religion, I believe that this view is seriously flawed.
Government needs to stay out of the religion business altogether.
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
Our government should be entirely and purely secular. The religious views of a candidate should be kept entirely out of sight.
America is an unusually religious nation.
Religion has to stay in the heart, not in politics. It is private.
