November 5, 2007
Religion looms large in the 2008 presidential election.
It hasn’t played such a prominent role in a U.S. election since 1960, when Democrat John F. Kennedy became the first Catholic elected president.
Hardly a day passes without a candidate being asked a question about his faith. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Mormon who is seeking the Republican nomination, is called upon repeatedly to defend his church and its teachings, some viewed as heresy by Christians. Some activists are pressing Romney to distance himself from his church. But Romney says that’s not going to happen.
Romney is not alone.
All of the presidential hopefuls — Democrats and Republicans alike — are being grilled about their religious beliefs. Some seem eager to talk about their faith as they actively court religious voters. Others play down the issue.
But voters more than ever want to know about a candidate’s faith, and candidates seem more willing to talk about it.
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, a New York Democrat, emphasizes her Methodist upbringing, saying her faith helped save her marriage.
Politics News Blog Comment:
Religion has trapped our psyche in its web so badly that we can't even see how cleverly politics is collaborating now to form a deadly nexus with religion in the name and style of religion politics.
The nexus is anything but democratic in its approach.
It is all set to inflict insult over our injuries.
Why can't we see what harms humanity and what heals it?
