Response to The Role Religion Plays in Politics

This is a response to http://textsofchristandpc.blogspot.ca/ entry, The Role Religion Plays in Politics.  I agree that religion plays an important role in politics, but I think the role is intimate, and when it is it can turn on a candidate such as Santorum.  For example, Mitt Romney is a Mormon, although christian, Mormons are the outcast of the religious world.  However, his religion still conveys  human values endorsed by the Bible, values that conform to societies values and can form the backbone of a moral society.  The point is while I feel religion does play an important role in presidential elections, its because of the ideas that are attached to religion also become attached to that president.  When candidates such as Santorum demonstrate that their religious values are fanatical it no longer helps them but rather becomes a hindrance.
