Separation of Church and Politics

I don’t know what is more disturbing…these candidates (these two and this one) using churches for their political campaigns or the church leaderships allowing such campaigning to take place within their walls.

From WIS news in SC:

“It is our custom that when campaigns come that we sit one on one side, and one on the other,” said Jackson.

From Fox News:

Huckabee defended his campaign’s reliance on pastors to spread the word about him to their congregants.”

    I’m almost completely ignorant about this, well about almost everything, but aren’t churches supposed to remain politically agnostic in order to retain their tax exempt status?

    Yes. It’s the law, but even if it wasn’t the law….they should be so for morality’s sake.
