They're separating church and state on the other side of the country as well!
BBC asked people if they thought religion and politics should be mixed, and quite a few said that the two are quite separate. However, interestingly enough, churches in England are holding question and answer sessions with parliamentary candidates, a highly debated procedure.
The Christians are of the mindset that religion and politics automatically mix, at least for them, and that by informing people of the current events, they will make an informed voter decision. They also believe that there is a Christian, or conservative, perspective on all major events, and that politicians could consider those values. The more important concern is the separation of morality from political issues, which is very difficult to do.
In my opinion, it's better to consider both approaches, and to keep an open mind, rather than closing it to possibilities simply because of the way you were raised or what your religion says.
