Must the US president believe in God?,By Matt Wells,
BBC News, New York
quote:God and power are firmly linked in the US political scene
quote:,Democratic Congressman Pete Stark, only one member of Congress has ever admitted to being an atheist - and that admission came just a few months ago...In the last election, President George W Bush, a born-again Christian, won the support of the vast majority of evangelicals, while his Democratic opponent John Kerry talked as little as possible about his own Catholicism.
But in the crowded field of candidates this time, it is the Democrats who are finding it easier to describe how their faith in Jesus informs their political beliefs and experience.
Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and former senator John Edwards, appeared in a cable TV prime-time special.
They opened themselves up to questioning by some evangelical leaders on the issues that have traditionally wounded Democratic candidates in recent campaigns: support for abortion rights, and same-sex marriage. .... -
Your point being?

It seems that after 911, many people in the US turned to religion as a way to comfort themselves, and to find answers. A lot of George W Bush's votes in 2004 came from Christians too based on the fact that he was a born-again Christian, and declared himself so, I guess that helped him despite the fact that the Iraqi war was hugely unpopular.
The truth is, in 2008, whoever talks about religion and the pullout from Iraq will most likely win the election. -

even his granfather is said to have stolen the skull of Geromino (spelling) and placed it at Yale for worship...
When this guys 'Bush' is up on the stage saying" god told him", wonder which god he's refering to.. -
Their believe in God gives them heavenly legitimacy to invade other countries.
I wonder whether the church of the 21st century is having too much influence and power that it becomes a culture and an institution denying it of being a simple faith where we love others as God loves us.
