Abraham Lincoln:
"The United States government must not undertake to run the Churches. When an individual, in the Church or out of it, becomes dangerous to the public interest he must be checked."
Thomas Jefferson:
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket, nor breaks my leg."

Mitt Romney
Do you think Mitt Romney's background as a "mormon" doomed him from having a chance to become the republican nominee?
Hi, my name is Tommy. I am currently attending MBHS and this blog is a project I'm conducting for my government's class. I this blog because i was very intrigued on how religion affects the whole political process even though the constitution clearly states that there needs to be a seperation of church and state.
Religion influences politics in many ways still today, for example ,The american public wants a president that has a good and sucessful family or one that promotes a good image with a wife and kids like thier religion promotes. I want your opinions and ideas about how these topics appeal to you as it does to me.
