'Mum',
"God under Howard" by Marion Maddox. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about how religion influenses our life at a political level.
Yes, isn't it interesting? There are hypocrites out there who demand that Christian politicians should be excluded from allowing their beliefs to influence their decisions, but see no problem whatsoever with atheists, humanists and secularists allowing their beliefs to influence their decisions!
Just a little quote from the book : "By most standards of religious freedom, whether the practice is mandatory or not is irrelevant - the point is that people are free to worship in the way they choose."
And they do, Christian and non-Christian politicians alike
Cheers,
Ian
