I was watching Dateline today and they had a story about evangelicals in america. And part of it was about religion and politics. And I've noticed how big a role religion has in american politics, specially with the administration in place right now. I find it interesting since in canada we don't see religion have as big a role in politics. And also would bush be president if he wasn't christian?
And y is it religion doesn't play as big a role in politics in canada?
I also found it interesting how they tried to tie the bible and democracy together. Which goes back to our old topic on where morals come from.

Also with the old story about god telling president bush to go in to afghanistan and iraq. Which I know the white house said was false, but they also told us there was WMDs in iraq.
