Pew Forum: Many Americans Uneasy with Mix of Religion and Politics

Just because the 'Religious Right' make photo ops in Churches, doesn't mean that the actual religion or religious organizations have the same influence as before. Moreso, it is money, banking, military and global imperialist aspirations that dictate political policy on a much greater scale than religion. The politicians just pretend they aspire to a 'greater good' but really, are poseurs and not practicing any 'christian-centric' principles. I really don't think any of it preaches wars.

There are laws that are based on certain religious principles (mostly Christian) but outside pressure and opposition are always breaking down these same ideals. Regardless of whether one is religious, agnostic or athiest, the Christian influences are definitely dwindling if you take a long look at history and time lines. Other religions (the other two main ones) as I previously mentioned, have more influence in comparison.

Your points are absurd yet again.
