Yes, seperation of church and state is no law, but I didn't get the memo saying we're switching over to a theocracy. Relying on God to make policy for the country is flirting with a theocracy.

Just to point out on the first quote. Freedom is a gift from God. If you think about the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were the first creatures that were given free will. (The tree of Knowledge of good and evil)
But, come on many laws are made with morals in mind. Many of these morals are instilled in faith doctorine. Just because he goes to church and leads a Christian life doesn't mean he is trying to make a army of goose-stepping christians. LEt the man talk about his faith. It is a part of him, and we the people should know what is going on in his mind. And if his faith plays a role then we should know about it, and how it might make him act.
