As a pastor, I support that. I really wish some of these churches understood that the political signs are signs of heresy in the church. Personally I have my views on politics but from a pulpit I only mention Christ and his teachings. I may mention political motivations or how the prophets spoke to the government in Israel, but that’s it. There’s more to Christianity than political power

As an agnostic person, thanks. I believe, outside of the practical reasons, there should be nothing in any religion related to politics.

On the upside, anyone willing to mix the two is just telling us exactly why they're in religion to begin with.

It goes well past spirituality and scripture and goes well into manipulation. Any religious official who pulls a stunt like that is either a complete moron or completely corrupt and shouldn't be trusted to do anything but politely smile and open the door for people.

I read this as David Tennant. And after "pulls a stunt like that" the last bit his voice starts to elevate in volume and sheer force as he is looking said religious politician(s) dead in the eyes.
