I did not get a chance yet to watch the debate at Saddleback church besides some clips on CNN afterwards. However even without seeing the show I can imagine that a few questions of religious faith came up.
As a person who is moderately politically aware and neither a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, or part of any other organized religion it has always struck me...where is my place in politics?
This is my first diary entry and more of a question than a statement. I know that in America we pay lip service to the idea of seperation of Church and State but when the vast majority of Americans believe in God and congregations hold such a high degree of influence...where is my place in politics?
If I was running for President or any other political office I would not have a chance no matter what my policy positions were. Forget being black, forget being to young or to old, part of the wrong gender, or all those other minor barrriers to political success...what do you do when you can't get on television like McCain and Obama and tell people you believe in God?
