I could really get behind that. I think that could become the third party everyone is looking for. You would pull all the moderate Dems and Repubs and force those parties to reconsider their extremism or lose power.

The Tea party is not overtly influenced by religious undertones. But, I seriously doubt that the type of person who is drawn to the movement would willing give up their right to publically express their religious convictions and allow them to influence their choices within politicians.
Beck from the outset said his gathering was not a tea party rally. Of course many if not most of the people who came associated themselves with the Tea party movement.
