Religion isn't just a passing interest, like football or fashion. It is something which engulfs your life, it is your
reason d'etre. It also forms the basis of your moral code and how you see the world.
I'm not sticking up for her or saying I agree with her views but saying religion and politics should be kept apart is pointless and impractical. The only way to do so would be to ensure no politicians practises any religious belief. Whereas I'm that would be wonderful to some of you, just think how unfair it would be on the millions of people who have faith in their lives, having no-one at all in the government to represent us.
