Kerry and Religion (8-6-04)

Kerry's campaign is beginning to look like an old episode of Keystone Cops on the issue of religion. First his campaign hired a religion advisor to help it appeal to religious people. Now she has resigned because religious conservatives don't like her stance on the "under God" loyalty oath in the pledge of allegiance.

The Democratic party acts more like the SBC every day. With the Republican party acting more like the Massachusetts Bay Colony every day, where will people who believe in separating church and state go?

For the record, I agree with Kerry's old religion advisor on this issue. The Ceremonial Deism that permits Americans to trot Divinity out as though he were our national mascot violates the commandment to not take God's name in vain. Why aren't those "conservative" ten commandments advocates up in arms about this?
