I believe your initial statement was that somehow religion "slithered" into politics. I responded that it was there from the very beginning. I do NOT believe I argued about religious fanatics- unless you call anyone who mentions a Creator a religious fanatic. THAT is like calling someone a Nazi--its not intended to further the debate, but shut down the argument on an emotional basis.
Its difficult to have an intelligent discussion when the topic keeps changing.
