A good book to read that provides a much needed historical perspective is "God in the White House" by Randall Balmer.

I noticed that some of the interviews and comments were made at private/Christian events (like one of Barack Obama at church). Seems to me that people would be entitled to their own beliefs in those places. The other thing that gets me is the distrust of anything religious in politics. Without the guidance of religious principles, where would we end up? What would be the bottom line for humanists? Can God's purposes not be worked out with these people in leadership? Cheers!

In the second section, it notes that Jesus would make a terrible president as it is much like Rome in its grasp for power and influence. That said, why would we elect a president based on that? Something to ponder anyway, since I am still reading. LOL I am reading Jesus for President.
