Along those lines... It really is a shame that politicians have to pander to religion at all, regardless of their beliefs. What should be a private matter, separate from any decision the electorate makes becomes a check box on a list of mandatory attributes for anyone considering public office.
An atheist or an agnostic would never be able to get elected president without playing the game and getting some religious "street cred".
