And if the right wing wants to get their base voters, they need to profess their faith and how strong it is.

In England, where the government is intertwined with the church of England. If any politician even whispers religion, they are out on there ass.

That part is not mandated by the Constitution, but unfortunately if politicians on either party don't do that our gullible masses would not vote for them. That has a lot to do with the cold war scare. It was not done as much by politicians until the 50s. It was not until Reagan that it really took off and became a popular way for both parties to pander for votes.

The funny part is that Thomas Jefferson, being a Unitarian and deist, could not run on either party's ticket today with all the criticism of mixing government and religion.
