I believe your survey was skewed toward a conservative prespective of religion and the government. Despite my "low" score, I think people of faith have the right to address moral and social issues. I adamently disapprove, however of the meshing together of politics and a particular idealogical viewpoint. Like it or not, our government was founded on the principles of the Enlightenment and rationalism, not on Christian theology. In fact, Masonic thought probably played a greater role in the development of our government than did Christianity. Though I consider myself a Christian, albeit of a liberal orientation, in the political arena I have no more rights than an atheist or someone of another faith tradition.

Coming from a Lutheran tradition, I'm used to a very different theological language about the paradox of being in the world but not of the world (i.e., the "Two Kingdoms" metaphor), so I expected to be unsatisfied with my outcome. Nonetheless, I ended up almost precisely in the center of the graph... which I'd have to say is a very accurate representation of where we stand!

We are even thinking of a debate. this is very timely for our nations coming election. God richly bless you. Hope there will be more issues on chirstian and politics.
