She's allowed to be religious and she's allowed to say she talks to god, as a matter of fact many people do. While it sounds a bit crazy to me I do not judge these people because it is their religious belief, which is protected under freedom from religion.

Seperation of Church and state simply means Seperation of Church and State. Meaning do not let the Catholic Church control the government etc etc. aka don't become a theological government.

Freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
Listen, when you see her in her church, which is like an insane cult, and you don't get nauseous, then there's nothing I can say to persuade you.

I could argue that the Founding Fathers were Deists, a very progressive philosophy for their time, and that Palin's crew would not be with them, but that's not going to convince anybody that does not know this already.

There wouldn't even have been a United States of America if the Founders had thought like her - and there might not be any in the future if the power is given to those of her ilk.

I believe in freedom from religion, as did Washington, Jefferson, and their colleagues. Palin's thinking is exactly the opposite. I'd suggest that you read the Sam Harris articles, if you havn't already. He's also written books and a number of other excellent articles about the danger of religion in politics and everyday life.
