I doubt that all Christian politicians are actually Christian. In America, 10% of the population is athiest/agnostic, and the more educated you are the more likely you are to be in that group. We have several hundred top politicians in Washington, and I only know of one open athiest (Pete Stark).

I dont see 10% of the population being athiest/agnostic and only 0.01% of politicians being athiest/agnostic, expecially when they tend to be more educated than the genral population. It makes sense to me that there are athiests politicians who claim Christianity for political gain, knowing that being an open athiest could be political suicide.
