In a recent interview with Beliefnet, Presidential candidate John McCain stated this, "I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles, personally, I prefer someone who has a grounding in my faith." He also stated that he agrees with 55 percent of the American population that say that the US Constitution was written on Christian beliefs.
Okay, as if the Republicans couldn't get more right wing. It is true that a majority of the American population has shown that it is of great importance that the leaders of the government show allegiance to God, and that a majority of the American people have a Christian belief system. And although I am a Catholic, and have been all my life, I have always believed that the values that the US government have been built on stand for equality and acceptance of all beliefs- regardless if they are Christian beliefs are not. Times are changing man. Get it together. Diversity is necessary for success.
