The tyranny of the majority can be the dark side of any democracy. Considering the religious faith of the majority of American citizens, I would say they have been rather tolerant on this issue.
Are immigrants from other religious backgrounds (I am not talking Christian sectarian divisions here) excluded from this country? Are not huge amounts of popular culture consumed with hardly any reference to faith? (Who besides the Simpsons goes to church??) Public education is stripped of all but a passing mention of God.
"Should politicians seem religious?" Considering they are trying to get and stay elected and who is doing the voting, it is pretty silly to think that they will leave all religious sensibility behind.
