Why is there so much corruption when Government and Religion mix
It seems like many conservative Churches take political ideologies and turn them into "Christian" values. Plus most people who have tried to bring religious values into Govt. end up threatening others rights. People like James Dobson, John Hagee, and Pat Robertson have so much political agenda.

There is corruption anytime religion mixes with anything. The very basis of all religions is fraud. You have a clergy promising salvation in exchange for a tithe. But for the fact the church is involved, and we are taught to respect religion; it would actionable as fraud.

Because the two never agree on anything. The government is worldly and the church is trying to do what is right in "God" eyes!

I kind of figured this would be a thinly veiled assault on Conservatives from the opening question. You threw the veil off in the details though, bravo.
