Good thinking, Amy. What I find even more disturbing in our society is how Christians think they are to be caught up directly in the line of politics for the name of God. 

"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's" comes to mind. The story you posted is one example. Politicians are happy to invoke their Christianity in an election year to stir the vote, and the electorate often responds. But after election day, Caesar forgets the voting public.
