So christians shouldn't be allowed a vote or a voice?

They are welcome to have a voice, but we need to keep the church separate from the government. I do not believe a Christian group should be in politics. Religion and politics should be separate.

Atheists have no problem being very deeply entrenched in politics. Can't see why Christians can't do the same thing to counter their influence.

They can...however atheists tend to make political decisions based on logic, or the 'greatest good for the greatest number'.....Hardcore Christians make decisions based on a religious book that only about 15% of the population follow.....

Making political decisions based on a 2000 yr old fictitious book is a dangerous idea...

LOL. You don't think any tenets of Christanity, or any religion, are logical? Funny how atheists morality is almost identical to that which is spruiked by christianity.

And yet, atheists morals are identical to those of Christianity, and probably most religions. Logical when someone says there an atheist, but illogical otherwise?
