Religion has no place in politics

I'm absolutely horrified at some of the rhetoric coming out of the Republican primary campaigns lately. Obama has to be smiling every time these guys open their mouths, because the toxic vomit coming from them is ridiculous.

What annoys me most though is the religious nonsense. I'll be the first to say that I think Romney is a douchebag, but frankly his religion has nothing to do with it. Who cares if he is a Mormon? It doesn't even make the radar of things anyone should care about. We saw the same thing (and we're seeing it again) around Obama's faith. If the guy says he's Christian, so be it. And even if he was Muslim, again, who cares? Anyone who makes this an issue is very clearly someone who engages in hate and fear mongering, and we don't need that.

Remember, we can blame the politicians, "the media" or whatever, but we're only getting what we deserve.
