America is not a theocracy, and therefore, someone's faith should never be used to justify legislation. Expression of religion? Fine. Go for it. Having it dictate policy? Horrific, and there are countless historical examples and current ones to suggest that it only leads to more problems in any society for those that aren't "true believers".

Get that #### out of here.
Just a reminder that much of the religious content in government was a product of the 1950's and trying to stave off communism. Evangelicals have worked hard the last half century trying to turn America into gods chosen country. I too look forward to a day when the tide has turned.
