Having said that, I would like to remind Americans that mixing politics, government and religion has, through out history, always been marked with oppression, violence and loss of the very lives religious people claim to be protecting.

Christianity, which started as a sect of Judaism, was quickly persecuted by the socially dominant religion of the region; a la St Paul. Removing itself from Judaism and expanding across the Roman Empire it found itself persecuted and its members tortured and killed by the dominant state religion of the Roman Empire.
