sad , sad , sad, My Jewish friend, (agnostic) and I were having lunch. Her daughter was telling us about the thesis topics the junior and seniors had chosen. One of the girls did hers on "How Bush has corrupted the government by incorporating religion into it" Our poor youth. What deceived parents.

Rekigion is an inescapable aspect of politics because all pollitics are driven by the presuppositions of a worldview. Worldview and "religion" are simply synonyms.
At the root of all worldview are the presuppositions of faith that drive the particualr worldview.

Religion is from the latin: re-ligare. It means "to bind together." Presuppositions are the "tape" that "bind together" the wordlview all inescapably have.

The materialist/secularist is, at the root, driven by religious faith in man and/or matter. No less religious, just a different religion than the Biblical one which is rooted in the eternal existence of the transcendent and triung God.
