Brian,

Well said. A religious person gives all the glory of their sucess to God. Therefore whenever they accomplish something (say liberating the people of Iraq) they would likely say this was God's work, or we did the lords work, etc... This does not mean they feel God commanded them to perform the initial action. I think this is pretty common knowledge and I doubt guys like Tech think otherwise. I think you guys just like to use it to say "he thinks God commands him to do these things" in an attempt to make him into a loony. you know better, but it sounds good. Much like Brian said, to require otherwise would be to remove religious folk from public service altogether and as a rule, heck maybe that sounds good to you. In my opinion religion should neither be a requirement nor a barrier to holding office, I thought that was common sense?
