Separation of Church and State

I think that the one thing that has polarized this country more than ever before has been the attempt to inject religion into politics. If anyone would be interested in seeing how a theocracy might play out, read A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. It's not a pretty sight.

I wonder how loud the scream would be from the religious Right if a Catholic or Jewish President had said that he was choosing a Supreme Court nominee because of his or her religion. That's what they don't get. In order to keep other religions out of politics, you have to keep out your own.
