As one of nature's uber-cynics, I believe we should let politics and religion interbreed as much as the participants wish.

Here's why:

1. Politics always overpowers religion, it's built into the system,

2. It's fun to watch the religionists flirt with the politicians,

3. It's fun to watch the religionists squirm when they discover they've been used, raped, and plundered by the political system,

4. There is always a political backlash when religion in politics begins to smell like 3-day old fish, and

5. It's heartwarming to see Coyote's Law #760* vindicated. . .again.

* - Coyote's Law #760: "Religion is God's Promise that religionists shall never rule the world."
