Few Democrats have seemed more comfortable talking about God than Barack Obama has. And yet few, if any, have had problems with God at the ballot box-from rumurous that he is a Muslim to doubts among Catholic and Jewish voters to repeated “pastor eruptions”. This a serious worry for Democrats as they gird their loins for the general election. Four years ago the party finally grsped what should have been obvious for years: that running as secular party in a highly religious country is a recipe for defeat. George Bush not only beat John Kerry by huge margins among “values voters”. He aslso profited from a visceral sense that there was something un-American about the Democrats’ secularism. Seven out of ten Americans routinely tell pollsters that they want their president to have a strong personal faith.
