John Kerry's advisers tell him to keep quiet on subject of religion after questions are asked about his new directory of religious outreach, Mara Vanderslice, a former Unitarian who has a background of involvement in left-wing causes. It seems to me that her appointment is intended to use religion as a stalking horse for leftist political causes.
A few days ago, I noted Tom Teepen's observation that the Bush administration's policies "do not reflect the broad practice and values of most mainstream Christians but rather the dogmas of conservative faiths." He may be right on the conservative part, but wrong on the broad practice and values. Left-wing political activism is a lot more divisive than promoting traditional values. Kerry's advisers are wising up to that fact and telling him to keep mum on it.
