Reply #18: I appreciate you humor -- "loose morals", indeed.

However, these days it really DOES seem that any candidate for any office must, at a bare minimum, go to great pains to proclaim that they ARE religious.

I'm old enough to remember when candidates' religion NEVER came up at all -- except when JFK was running for office. And HE had to go to great lengths to assure people that his religion would NOT have any bearing on how he conducted himself in office.

This religion thing has done a complete 180 from those days. I really do hate it.
