Well, I'm able to seperate politicians statements and actions from their religious beliefs. But it's easy to do when you're outside the structure of Christ'insane'ity.

I've never been Christian and was taught that everyone's beliefs are there own and I have no right to decide whether they are valid for them or not.

It all comes down to personal liberty. That's the main differece between liberals and conservatives. The problem is that many conservatives try to say that some things are evil and base that on their religious beliefs. That is what has to be stopped.
