Actually, a bunch of our Founding Fathers (e.g., Jefferson, Franklin) were pretty skeptical about religion, particularly in the political arena (as am I).
As for today's GOP, their symbiotic relationship with the Religious Right (and its effect on their politics) is one of my biggest complaints about them. I think it's clear (and generally OK) that the Judeo-Christian ethic informs a lot of our politics. However, I believe the way the GOP caters to the Falwell/Robertson/Bob Jones wing of the party is both sickening and harmful to the political well-being of the nation.
