[quote=takoma]Very interesting subject. Trevi Troy starts his article with your point that it's nothing new, noting that it goes at least back to Nixon. Before that was Father Coughlin, and I think I recall some examples in the TV series about John Adams. I think mixing religion and politics is a bad idea (but you can't trust me since I think religion is a bad idea), but I also think the First Amendment assures preachers the right to freedom of speech and to the practice of religion as they see it. So, as I stand up for their rights, let me exercise my own right to say that I hope church- and synagogue- (as well as mosque-) goers will be wise enough to remember that their clergy's study of their religion does not necessarily make them experts on politics. In fact, by bringing politics into their houses of worship, they risk polluting both.[/quote]
