Re: I do think our "leaders" use christianity and religion to further some bastardly agendas. But, I think religion is just the vehicle used to further those agendas, not an end in itself. After all, how religious are our "leaders" anyway?

True but it's beside the point... Leaders are cynical fellows, to be sure, but what of their constituencies? The relevant question is, After all, how religious is the American people? Clue:

Now, I agree with you that the Judeo-Protestant creed is instrumentalized by televangelists and politicians alike but that doesn't turn it into an irrelevant, dummy variable to understand the US's course of action... After all, the Israeli people has not settled in Palestine, fought against the natives and suffered retaliatory terrorism just to "manipulate" US opinion and hypocritically pander to its Biblical fantasies! Both American Jesus freaks and Zionist Jews are SERIOUS about their religious beliefs (*). Pro-life terrorists who won't flinch from bombing and shooting pro-choice doctors are serious... Demonstrators who harass gays and lesbians who want to marry with shouts of "Turn to Jesus" are serious... Televangelist Robertson who urges Israelis not to relinquish a single square foot of land to barbaric Palestinians is serious...
