No. I'm telling you tho' that most european countries from my learning experience leave religion out of politics.
The south doesn't...as is apparent in this last election.
I'll give you an example of how the church got involved in the Reagan re-election campaign when I was an 18 year old kid...getting ready for my first ever vote.
They outright told us it was our duty to vote for Reagan.
They had every Sunday petitions to sign, all kinds of baseless rumors on what would happen if Reagan did not win.
This is no bullshit....one thing they told us was that they would start airing executions and suicides on t.v. in a pay per view type event.
They also tied it in directly with the book of Revelations, and the coming of the anti-christ...I shit you not.
This is the exact same kind of bullshit they pulled in the south with the whole gay marriage, and stem cell issues...they went after them with "morality" issues....more like fear...and it worked.
