A new blog on The Religion-Industrial Complex

Jacques Berlinerblau of Georgetown University has launched a new blog called The God Vote with an assist from the folks at the Washington Post's blog: On Faith. He writes:

My maxim is: when dealing with faith and politics few things do violence to our (already limited) powers of impartiality like our own faith and our own politics. Whether writing about a presidential aspirant’s latest play of the religion card, or an emerging issue being championed by a special interest group, or a poll showing that this community of faith supports that candidate, my goal is to write with an acute awareness of how religious and political passion can obscure and cloud the good judgment, moral reasoning, and analytical clarity of industry commentators (including myself) and those they comment on.

Have a look.

I hope that Berlinerbrau is aware of the Presidential Prayer Team,
http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/

I cannot put into words why the Presidential Prayer Team concept makes my teeth ache, but the Presidential prayer Team concept really makes my teeth ache. Like biting aluminum foil...perhaps Berlinerbrau will be able
to find words where I fail.
