I dunno, there is quite a population that thinks it is...

no, there's a lot of people that believe in them. Our society is still based on politics and the Internet.

Or do they bring religion more into politics in America? I know it's a lot more common to be religious.

Ever heard of Islam?  

Religion brught up society, its been causing wars for centuries, itll be this worlds indoing. If the universe doesnt destroy us, then a giant war between religions will.  

"Brace yourselves, those for whom religion equals war. The majority of all wars (44/73 or 60 percent) had no religious motivation whatsoever — a zero rating. Only three wars — the Arab conquests of 632-732, the much ballyhooed Crusades, and the Reformation Wars of the 16th and 17th centuries – earned a 5, and were thus considered to be truly religious wars. Only seven wars earned a rating of 3 or more — less than 10 percent. Thus, the vast majority of all wars involved either no religious motivation or only a modest one. The authors concluded by noting that “there have been few genuinely religious wars in the last 100 years. The Israel/Arab wars were wars of nationalism and liberation of territory” (p. 16)."

What concerns me is not whether it starts wars, wars are inevitable and will happen with or without the presence of religion. I just worry about religion leaking into politics, as it currently it. .-.

Our President believes in a God, should we trust him?

Religion is something between you and yourself, just because you believe or don't, doesn't mean one should be or shouldn't trusted.

I don't think the president should or shouldn't be a certain religion, I think their religion just shouldn't interfere with the law. Unfortunately there are religions that think that because their God says something everyone should obey whether they believe or not

Spoiler

Christianity and Islam are good examples

then some will go farther to murder non believers

Spoiler

Islam

But that is just my opinion, hey if you want someone else's religion to dictate your life don't let me get in the way.  

Hey I'm Muslim and if I was a country leader I wouldn't kill non-believers *tear*

Islam is two-faced, if it were a human it would have multiple personality disorder, 1 side are extremists, the other side (like me) are normal people living their daily lives like you.
So I've got to disagree here.
Contrary to popular belief, Allah is Yahweh (God of Israel) and also the Christian God.

Not sure how accurate or biased this is as I haven't taken the time to read the Qur'an. I do plan to soon though.

Yes, please. We really need more people who know the real truth and worship the real god, The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
