Until we stop pretending to separate church and state in our government: I am against the merest idea of having faith in ridiculous things in our government. A government needs to know what the hell is really going on... do you think it's being almost completely Christian helps it know what the fuck to do if missiles are laughed at us?
Let me guess... pray? That sort of person doesn't belong in positions of power... they are too weak to make the decisions they will need to make. Nor should they be able to make ridiculous decisions just because they 'heard a voice' or 'had a vision' or the like... I'm sorry, I had enough of that bullshittery with Bush.
Religion does not belong in politics... any more than it belongs in the government or in science or in schools. If anything... it should be a personal thing that we aren't too serious about. But religions organized to the scale of indoctrinating 83% of the nation... that is just morally wrong on so many levels... those 83% of brainwashed people have much less of a right to obtain an office than do the rationalists. /sigh, you can probably tell that I strongly disagree with a democratically based state... I think we need leaders who are as virtuous and capable of the job as it is conceivable they be... not the democratically elected new 'Pope of america' that could one day plague our future. The only thing saving us from that one is the separation of church and state. And ~80% of americans might very well want to vote to repeal that law.
That is a problem, in my opinion. o.o

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
