A few comments:
1) Rick Moran is an atheist. Thus his opinion that religion doesn’t belong in politics is simply biased and not actually accepted in the US.
2) The common folk do use religion as one measure of a man, since they can immediately relate to much of his ethics and morality, if, that is, he is a Christian, as are perhaps 80% or more of the people. If the man is not a Christian, then all bets are off, since his ethics and morality are open, and quite unknown questions.
3) It would be highly surprising if our legislators, administrators and judges were not swayed to some definite degree by their religion and their moral learning. Or are we governed by logical robots, perhaps of the Ayn Rand school?
4) If a man or woman is an atheist, a Muslim, or any of a horde of other religions, he will not be elected to the highest office in the US, President, our one Muslim congressional accident aside. This in accord with (2) above.
5) Obama’s real religion may or may not be Christianity, though that is his stated faith. An ambitious man, Obama has carefully picked his path to power, so his professed religion may be terribly weak, albeit Black Liberation for 20 years.
We have precious little ability to see into his mind, especially as he is a “Teleprompter Kid”, reading what he has been given, and nearly inarticulate away from one, except for the party line.
He reminds me of a presenter that once worked for me. We could review and modify his presentations and tune him to deliver exactly what we wanted him to say and in the right inflection and tone, even if he didn’t really understand the subject. Sound familiar? With enough repetition, he could regurgitate the same ideas at will, but could not answer detailed questions correctly, and had to be backstopped with knowledgable people.
6) So far, all I see of Obama’s backstops is a gaggle of highly suspect clowns, and it seems to be the plan to make that much worse with retreads from Clinton years.
May God help us.
