>>So when I see this current Bush administration trying to mingle Government with God, this just scares the beejesus out of me.<<

Not sure what is meant by mingling government with God.

Do you mean that Bush mentions God when he gives speeches? An incredibly high number of Americans believe in God. I thought it was about 80%, but this site says 95%. Having grown up in the Deep South, where it is not uncommon to mention God in day-to-day discourse, I don't mind Bush mentioning God in his speeches, although it's not something most politicians do as far as I can tell.

If you mean the Faith-Based Initiatives, I see no reason for charitable organizations be excluded from government grants, as long as the charity is provided without proselytization.

But if you want to have the beejesus (by which I assume you mean Jesus) scared out of you, it's a free country and all that.
