Something that's been bugging me is why religion is allowed in politics. For a country based on religious freedom there is so much emphasis on "christian values" and anything perceived to be against that is considered bad. Imagine if Prop 8 was to vote in Shariah law, or prevent interracial marriage, or any number of other human rights that are frowned upon by any other religion. Why anyone would believe it's okay to vote based on religious belief (or based on what the pastor/minister/rabbi, etc tells them) and not based on what's best for everyone is beyond me.
