calls for politicians' to detail how their religion influences their politics

.
Johann Hari is the latest comentator to call for politicians' religious beliefs to be scrutinised whenever they influence their political details. I can't think of a more straightforward way to better democracy than to cease excluding religious beliefs from rational political debate. Johann makes some penetrating comments about how these nutters- who are meant to be representing the majority- occupy a platform from which to prosetylise their beliefs.
