However I believe in complete and utter separation of church and state. However I have no problem using the 66 books of the bible to beat right wingers over the head with for their inconsistencies. Not realistic to expect a human being to not ever talk about their faith, but Obama should only talk more about if he feels he needs to defend his faith. Not for the sake of an election. Even still those who don't believe he is a Christian now most likely never will.
