It isn't about political leaders, its about the country collectively dedicating our nation to God. Bush only gave lip service which is one of the reasons why we are in our present mess.

Religious people can believe anything because there's no need to prove any of their beliefs. They just say that they have faith, and we're supposed to nod and accept them as sane, rational people.
Agreed. Little known factoid: Mother Theresa and Abe Lincoln were batsh-t insane.

We can't do that, it's impossible. And you would get the same result if the country collectively dedicated our nation to Zeus.

Religion isn't going to work so let's try something else. This is getting OLD.

It's incredible to me that some people think the U.S. needs to be more religious. I think we're already the most religious modern country on the planet. Any more religious and we'd be close to becoming a theocracy.

There's no other modern country in the world where the elected officials are expected to end every speech with "God Bless _______." If Gordon Brown ended a speech with "God Bless The United Kingdom", I think he'd be laughed off the stage.

Lip service can cure alcohol and drug addiction?

Well gee, there are more than 5,000 names for God in recorded history. How will we ever figure out just which one is the correct one?

There are many Muslims that would differ with you. According to them...

Allah : The one and only God, creator and sustainer of the universe.

I think our politicians should rededicate themselves to the Constitution and serve their constituents.
