Really, he doesn't. He worships the votes of the religious right, not any kind of christian god. If he was really a good christian he would adhere to that whole "thou shall not kill" thing. It is amazing that, for all the hemming and hawing about posting the ten commandments everywhere there is wallspace, that commandment is always conditional. He would also probably show a little more concern for the sick and the impoverished like his main man jesus christ. Unfortunately, most politicians recognize that many christians will only vote for christians and "put on the sheep's clothing," so to speak.
The above is also an example of how a leader can pretend to act in line with their professed beliefs in a certain religion, when in all actuality, said leader is breaking one of the fundamental laws of said religion. Much like obl, or any other fundamentalist of any other religion.
Which brings me to what i think the real problem is: fundamentalism.
