Politics and Church ?

I was raised to think that Politics and Church shouldn't mix - but it seems like the Q&A session between Rick Warren from Saddleback and the two presidential candidates McCain and Obama destroys that theory for good. It also reveals that people in this country care about questions of faith. Are we a Christian nation - not so sure about that - but we ARE a nation who recognizes that a candidates faith is an important factor in determining their character in office.

If you want to read more about the Warren: McCain/Obama interview, you can review it here.

So what do you think about that? Should religion play a role in electing a leader? Neither candidate professes, like candidates in the past have (Carter and George W. Bush to name a two who are still alive) to be Born Again. It's an intriguing question - and one that I don't have a clear answer for - but yet here I write. I blog, therefore I am.
