I want to make a bumper sticker that says, "Religion cannot hold office in my government". Of course, it will have to be magnetic or a static sticker, because I don't actually adhere things to my car

Ouch. There is actually a difference between being a christians and being religious.
I have been both a non-christian and and am now a christian and I make no apologies for it no matter how stupid someone may think I am for it. No matter how many birthday candles or dandelions I've blown out, have I had good luck or my hopes and wishes come true. Despite the avoidance of breaking mirrors, crossing paths with black cats, and going under ladders, I still manage to have my bad luck as well. As for me though, I pray daily and often and know for a fact that my prayers are both heard and answered. For me and the affects it's had on my life, the proof is in the puddin'.
As a christian I believe that everyone has a God-given right to live HOWEVER they wish and I believe that they should be able to live that life without being constricted by other people's thoughts on how they should do it. I do not believe that religion should hold office either. In fact I think it's the most dangerous thing of all when it comes to a government. I

I sincerely apologize if I have, in any way, offended you. As much much as I despise religion affecting government, I equally despise it affecting religion, which isn't so much of a problem in my neck of the woods. Clearly, it is the zealots that make me angry. Right now the political climate over here is unbearable. And it is better over here, but I fear for the future. I can see where the mixture of religion and government goes, as could the forefathers of the US, but so many are blinded by their own arrogance

Don't be silly. Nothing offended me. You're right that everybody should just be a moderate and get the heck on with one another. I think that if all of the zealots from all religions were exiled to one island the rest of the world would function and do so well.
