but how freaked would people be if I invited Master Chen to stand on stage with me as I campaigned?

It's only relevant if Obama thinks church folk need to know he's religious which they can find out by simple perusal of his website or listen to his speeches...

pandering beyond that or taking FAITH into the political arena is not only against the 1st amendment, it's what Rove and company pretend was the reason for their success in 2000 and 2004, but we all know election fraud, and removing the black man from the voting equation was how they won.

when you do the math and all is said and done, more americans consider their religious beliefs a private part of their life, which is why so many parties you don't hear folks discussing politics or religion.

the folks that push religion on you can usually see the rest of the room go quickly to the other side of the room.

i appreciate your faith in faith, but happen to agree with other posters.. it has no place in today's progressive democratic dialogue.
