Kennedy wasn't a "good" Catholic, despite what the historians may say. His wife had to drag him to mass, every time, saying he MUST go, because that's what people expect of the first Catholic president. Carter is a "good" Baptist, by all accounts, and walks with Jesus. However, he was a terrible president.

I think what horrifies people the most is Bush's "good vs. evil" rhetoric, that he believes in evil as an entity, and doesn't believe in moral relativism. Simply put, good always prevails over evil. And to many, this is a threat in itself. Because by enabling the likes of Hussein, you may just be signing up with the evil side.

And most "spriritual" people do not believe that evil will be judged by the law. Only your intentions are judged by the law. You meant well, therefore God will give you a pass. Fortunately, Bush knows that Christianity trumps the law.

Neatly demonstrating that devout Christianity doesn't necessarily lead to being a good President. So Bush's devoutness (which I will not question) doesn't guarantee it either.
