Is Jesus Part of The American Presidential Elections?

More and more Jesus seems like to be an essential part of the American presidential elections.References to him and invoking his name is common occurrence in presidential election. Ex-Senator John Edwards brags about he is praying to Jesus all the time. Another republican presidential candidate, second tier however, laments that his greatest mistake is that it took him 30 years to find Jesus. What does he wants from us to shed our tears ans start crying. In 2000 George w Bush said that Jesus philosopher he admires. Wow never heard that Jesus one refers to him as Philosopher. Albert Gore responded that he is born again Christian. Hillary Clinton and the scoundrel Rudy Giuliani are designated or accused to be the least religious of the bunch. Lately, the new comer Fred Thompson was cornered that he does not go to church often and he responded that he goes to church only when he visits his mother in Tennessee. What is the matter? leave Jesus out of the elections. This is suppose to be a secular country and not every one adheres to Christianity or consider Jesus as his divinity.
