Like I said on the show last weekend, I want to see more faith in the Presidential election. Why are Huckabee and Romney the only two who get asked about their faith? Asking all the candidates to share about their faith, the origin of their moral and values systems, and their philosophies of life only serves to help me know a candidate better.

My faith teaches me 5 things about politics
Faith teaches me
1)Hope comes from God, not the government. No candidate or party is going to usher in the Kingdom of God.

2)No candidate is Jesus; nor does any candidate have a corner on the faith marketplace. The candidates are human beings like the rest of us; they are not divine.

3)Freedom is precious and rare and therefore to be valued. Freedom of religion and freedom of speech are precious gems of our republic and I want as little government interference as possible.

4)Weak and vulnerable matter. That includes the homeless, the mentally ill, and the unborn. How you provide protection and help to them varies. Often, government is not the answer here either and the free market may do a better job. I'd like to know a candidate's faith in order to get their perspective on this.

5)I am happy for candidates to talk about their faith. We are big people, we're grown ups, and we can handle hearing their answers. We can use that as part of our decision making – just do not expect me to use their faith as my sole criterion for supporting a candidate.
