Hi KLP; The question of the separation of church and state is fundamental to our war with the Taliban, as well as our foreign relations with a good portion of the world.

If we can't keep our own religious figures out of politics, how can we demand the same from other countries?

As far as it goes, I see no reason why a church or mosque shouldn't be allowed to "educate" voters. Majority rule is a brutal thing, when examined closely, and I don't think that the churches / mosques are more brutal than the regions they spring up in.
