80. The truth is that he does have a more expansive view of the role and influence religion

has played in America's history than you do.The truth is he has a more broad view of the allowable expression of religion in the public square, not government, than you do. The truth is that he in no way espouses that the US should become a "theocracy" which you admit. The truth is that the expression of these views may sound similar to those who believe that religion should hold the same power and influence on our government as it has held in the past may be reva lent to someone linking him as a theocrat or right wing christian conservative without understanding the different conclusions each would seek to maintain.

While we may disagree to varying degrees on points of religion and what should be the norm in society I have found your arguments on the whole to be honest attempts to advocate your point of view without constant evasion to answer and innuendo and smearing and distortion of my point of view, misunderstandings excepted.
