This PBS story was the Religion and Ethics Newsweekly’s “Election 2008 Preview” but it serves just as well for a post mid-term election consideration of what is to come.

Another quote:
Prof. HERTZKE: I’m not sure it’s really healthy, the era we’re in, in which religion is so politicized and, some might argue, so exploited for political ends.
