I see it as another way for lobbyists to get closer to our lawmakers. If religion leads to someone being a good person and doing good things, that's fine with me. If religious influence leads to cessation of abortion rights, removal of real sex-ed in our schools, and harmful foreign policy, then it should be kicked the hell out of Washington. I don't have a problem with it, but it has to be kept in check, just like other groups. Unfortunately, religion hasn't done much of anything good that I can see in recent times.
