I came upon this bloggity-blog called GetReligion.org whose tagline is "The press... just doesn't get religion"...
Ugg, I've only been at this a few days and now all these tips are raining down like frogs about folks around the world fiercely intent on keeping religion and politics hand-in-hand. Check out Daniel Pullman's blog entry from yesterday titled, "The press gets political religion."
Also references an interesting article from The Sacramento Bee about McCain getting called out for not being so vocal as his comrades on his Christian faith. If McCain isn't wearing God on his sleeve like all the rest then we just might have found a glimmer of the 2000 race McCain who stuck to his guns and didn't sell out to cheap campaign tactics. Here is Matt Stearns' article. And a quote from McCain that I would like to see echoed by all candidates:
"I think it's something between me and my creator," McCain said in an interview with McClatchy Newspapers. "It's primarily a private issue rather than a public one. ... When I'm asked about it, I'll be glad to discuss it. I just don't bring it up."

I think you don't understand GetReligion.org. They are a news media criticism site. They try to encourage reporters and editors to do a better job covering religion stories. They are not trying to inject religion into politics, but where religion and politics overlap they want reporters to do a better job reporting it.
