During the primary season, the League sent similar letters to all the presidential candidates. But religion seems to strike a chord with voters. Remember the words from Chronicles, which are to give thanks to God and declare his name and make his acts known to the people. I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and I'm a Methodist. There must be a place for faith in America's public life.
Faith does work.
It's a powerful concept. That's not a government concept, by the way. It recognizes that there are powers greater than mankind. The Anti-Defamation League says campaigning this way could offend people and is contrary to the American ideal. It sent a letter to Joseph Lieberman asking the vice presidential candidate to tone it down, keep his faith out of politics.
