Whether we like it or not, human religiosity will not shrink in the future in the world and politicians/political parties will try to use religion to their advantage and rival’s disadvantage. The United States of America has a long tradition of church-state separation, but on the other hand also has a penchant for blending politics and religion.

Presidential candidates should be weighed upon their stands on foreign policy, health care, economy, peace/war, poverty, civil liberties, education, social security, trade issues, taxes and government services, deficit, technology and infrastructure, business and labor, minimum wage, environment, immigration, budget, etc., and their professional qualifications.

The trespass of religion into politics should be rebuffed.
