Think of it this way... the fastest growing religion in the United States is Islam. If we don't keep religion and politics separate it's possible that our children or grandchildren will see a "Coalition for An Islamic America". If we open the door for the Christian religion to shape public policy and legislation, we open the door for all religions to shape legislation and public policy.

I believe it would be best to live in a secularized society with freedom of religion than a religiously dominated one. Just my opinion.

Jindal converted from the Hindu religion to Christianity when he was still a teenager. But to hear him speak, he sounds more like a Bapticostal! lol

Let me chime in with my agreement also!

Jindal showing up for BOTT means as much as Clinton showing up for Arkansas Camp Meeting.

Wow! I for one think it is pretty awesome for Jindal to show up at BOTT. I can't imagine our governor (Arnold Schwarzenegger) ever showing up at one of our events. But if he did that would definitely rock!
