Conservative politicians tend to use religion for different things. I'm a conservative and Christian and the use of God in politics does bother me a bit.

Using God's or Jesus' name in political agendas never seem to turn out well and it does nothing but makes us 'normal' Christians look bad.

As for prayer, my prayers tend to be for health, protection, guidance, and prosperity for myself and those I care about. Of course, I am speaking in general terms.

Efter hvad jeg har hørt, mener ca. halvdelen af amerikanere at det er vigtigt at have en kristen præsident. Ud af dem udtaler 30% at de ikke vil stemme på en ikke-kristen under nogen omstændigheder. Efter havd jeg ved er religion et MEGET vigtigt koncept i amerikansk politik.

The last figures I heard, from a few years ago now, was that 70% of Americans were Christian and 90% of Americans believed in something.

As for how many involve their beliefs in politics I couldn't say, but it's been years since I've had any sort of political discussion that religion wound up entering into. In fact, I think I've known a sum total of one person who "reasoned from the Bible" in political matters.

No.. There is a growing atheist movement. I am one American that is very much an atheist.
