You think so? Because, I can't recall seeing too many church officials (or devout churchgoers) acting put-out by the intrusion of religion into politics. Surely, the relationship is two-way, except while there is a sure segment of the political landscape in America wanting little or no religious involvement, can you find a single religious group of note who does not want God's hands on the political steering wheel?
