Religion?

There is a bit of a kerfluffle about religion in the current congress, namely those who refuse to list a religious affiliation. In a secular government, should they even be asking about religion? A nation that condemns Islamic based governments but is itself 90% old, white and Christian? Doesn't that really put us on par with, say, Saudi Arabia or Iran? And really, as much as we claim freedom of religion we still penalize those who stray from the judaic/christian/islamic triumvirate. I don't think it should even be asked. If employers are not allowed to discriminate based on religion, shouldn't that also apply to voters, who are the employers if politicians?

Comments?

Anyone?
