Well I've always subscribed to the notion that you can legislatedreligion out of the government machinery - but you can't legislate it out of the politician. Consequently, you will always see religion based policies.

I don't mind political lobbying by any group (including reglious ones) but I am totally against the system of political donations by any group. I prefer the German system where the state provides funds for political parties - and political parties accepting cash from business or religious interests is illegal.

In a true democracy, the size of your wallet should not determine your importance...
