agreeing on political philosophy doesn’t give anyone automatic credibility when it comes to spiritual matters.

That's exactly right..... Becks political philosopy should not give him a platform to promote his religion, but he is walking a very fine line as the Mormon Leadership will in time require more of him in that respect...subtle though it will be at first...and just as we have witnessed at his rally. He has not yet swallowed the Mormonism doctrines in entire and prayerfully we will see him turn away in time. Otherwise he will loose the Christian communities support if he attempts to "preach" Mormonism.

This quote from the article sums it up pretty well for me

"The bottom line is ... we've been used and we've allowed ourselves to be used at times by politicians and others who co-opted God talk,"

Had this rally been promoted as a political rally - I would not have had any problems with it. But it was promoted as a religious rally - no politics. Yet we see the spinoffs - most everyone can see that plainly it was a political rally with God mixed in. Were this to have been a spiritual rally to bring us back to God, it would have taken a whole different form and message.
