Nope...not only religion-wise, sadly. One would think that if a person gets elected running on a certain platform of ideas and ideals, that should be how they govern once elected. I get it that all constituents have to be represented but it sure seems like campaign promises only last as long as it takes to get in office and then the mask can come off. If a candidate describes him/herself as a Christian - and makes it a character point in what he/she stands for, then I think he/she should be held to a higher standard for what is expected once elected. Even if a voter isn't "religious", a candidate who claims to be outright is still thought to be more trustworthy and honest. It works as an advertising plus for businesses, too.

Nobody likes a hypocrite - and religious ones are despised the most!

There are plenty of self-proclaimed Christians who fit that bill. Some post on internet forums, some are in the clergy and some even had/have television programs.

Being elected puts one in a powerful position, and we ALL know the thingy about power corrupting.
