text: does religion play too big of a role in american politics? will the religious right still provide "the might for the right" in future elections?  is this in keeping with what our founding fathers envisioned for our country?  should we put defined limits on religious influence with politicians? absolutely, religion, and americans individual choice of faith, is what's dividing this country.   no longer can neighbors debate issues, if they first have to state if they are "saved" or not. this should not be the base of any argument, or definition of an american citizen.  i believe there is no need to define limits on any influence. there only has to be an adherence to the words of the constitution, and refrain from redefining it to suit any political party that happens to be in the majority at a particular time.
