The proper reply to right wing religiosity is not to insist that politics and religion don't mix. This is the stock response of the left.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Though claiming to represent a conservative form of Christianity, the Religious Right is politically a form of Protestant liberalism.
Religion, for better or for worse, has been politicized in blatant ways that have seldom been equaled in American elections.
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
The Left has always been anti-religious, and especially anti-Christian.
As a Christian, there is no other part of the New Right ideology that concerns me more than its self-serving misuse of religious faith.
I think the world looks down on Republicans for their socially conservative views, which includes religion in government.
Politicians use religion, and they get their troops riled up with religion.
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.
Politics in America is the binding secular religion.
The left and right are not religious categories. They're often not even value categories.
