>>I live today in a town where a casino license was granted where religious opposition was extensive, and was funded by companies like Harrahs and Boyd Gaming to prevent the license. Religions have the right, under our law, to oppose such measures. That has nothing to do with "church and state." <<

All that says is the casino 'campaign contributions' trumped the religious objection.

Sure, they have the right. And they are usually successful, unless they have to fight a huge pool of money like what was behind that casino. Churches getting involved in politics is a bad thing. Always has been. Because they want to impose their version of religion on others. Pure and simple.

Not really surprised you see that as a good thing, though.
