Sure.. agree completely.. And religion has been a tool through the ages to promulgate political expansion.. Fundamentalism though seeks to supplant, not simply influence the secular world.. IMO.. yes Christianity came close to that a few times.. but having religious leaders as the ultimate judges (thinking inquisition here) is truly dangerous.. McLuhan comes to mind in this case.. thinking "the medium is the message" sort of deal.. and not simply the tool...

Have a great holiday..
off to bed now.. presents wrapped and meal preparation on track.. (guy stuff for the holidays in my house :O)

While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
