Key point right there. As long as the folks like Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee, who are running for high office based partly on their willingness to inject Christianity into policy, then the church and state line must be held very firm.

It's a very slippery slope in regard to Jesus and the Bible being force fed by law.

EDIT: I'm pretty much echoing the second part of Jans' post.
