On the day of the highly-controversial National Prayer Breakfast (which President Obama decided to speak at, despite organizers The Fellowship's well-known ties to the homophobic genocide movement in Uganda), a new Gallup poll shows that the number of Americans who want organized religion to play a part in politics is on the rise. Conversely, the number of Americans who want less religion in their government is on the decline. Still, both numbers rest at 29%, while a majority of Americans (39%) simply want the level of religious interference in our politics to remain the same. Interesting.

No, they don't want religion. They want THEIR religion to influence politics and damn everyone else's. That is why religion needs to stay the hell out of politics.
