Its amazing to me how someone is supposed to live in the image of Jesus Christ when Christ himself was a servant to the people, today he would be called a socialist liberal. Politics and Religion are to be seperate but who takes it personally when people want to remove "In God We Trust?" Who opposes abortion based on religious beliefs, or gay marriage? All these issues face roadblocks due to religious beliefs and who typically injects their religion into politics? Conservative Christians.
Know what other culture is big on basing laws on religion? Take a guess.. just another similarity.
