Mark Tooley: Religion permeates every arena of American public life, even in our supposedly increasingly secular times…

…It’s unreasonable and mostly undesirable to expect or advocate a clear boundary between politics and religious affairs. From America’s start there have always been clergy and religious activists who politically chose sides in a public way. It’s perhaps a calling for some but not for most.

But religion’s public influence and Christianity’s social witness might be better served if religious leaders from across the spectrum were more guarded in their spiritual interactions with public figures.
