Government imposes Civil Order - Religion advocates moral order

My site is about separating politics and religion. Although each of us carries out our faith differently, I worry that the Evangelical leadership feels that governmental force should be used to establish their brand of moral order.

Whether you believe him or not, Obama does not view a same-sex union as sacred or abortion as a good choice (nor do I); he just views government as a protector of all liberties and choices (as do I).

There are good examples of how we as citizens we can influence the political process - it's a bottom up process. It is you the individual believer and the church and the preaching of the gospel and showing of neighborly love and concern that will establish moral order, not the evangelical leadership succeeding in putting in judges that will ban abortion and gay marriages.
