VIDEO: John McCain on What the President’s Religion Should Be (BeliefNet)

By |

A few months ago BeliefNet interviewed John McCain and asked him what religion he thought the President should be.

VEEPSTAKES WINNER: It worked – Dobson says he would “pull lever” for McCain-Palin

By |

For all practical purposes, it resembled an interfaith worship service. In a move designed to appeal to religious voters, the Democrats opened their convention in Denver last night with prayer, a gospel song, and a Torah recitation by a rabbi.

(You may recall that Obama received some criticism when his staff asked two Muslim women wearing headscarves not to stand behind him at an appearance.)

“China’s ruling Communist Party is suspicious of any cause that could compete with its authority, including organized religion.
