The headline today on the HuffingtonPost.com: GOP Senate Candidate From Colorado: 'I Disagree Strongly With The Concept Of Separation Of Church And State.' And that would be Republican Candidate Ken Buck. He also went on to say "we are not gonna have a religion that's sanctioned by the government, it doesn't mean that we need to have a separation between government and religion."
But maybe, there should be a separation for different reasons. A DenverPost.com reports today that a nationwide survey by the Barna Group shows that "one in four Americans said they couldn't think of a single positive societal contribution made by Christians." In the same survey, "twelve percent of those surveyed said churches were too involved in political matters."
Yet, a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey says that 86% of Americans think the government is broken. So, perhaps mixing the bad contributions to society with the broken-ness of the government is not the wisest thing to do.
