Well, it looks like this statement is the most important point of contention between your position and mine:

What most of us have said here is that religion and prayer has NO PLACE IN DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS.

And my point is that whether or not you like it when people choose to include their understanding of their spirituality in the way they make important decisions, including deciding how to vote for president, the fact is that they will continue to do it, and they have every right to under the US Constitution. The Constitution only limits the powers of the State with regard to imposing religion on it's citizens. Citizens are left to make up their own minds about what to believe or not believe.
