Regardless of his personal religious views, a person holding a public office in the US cannot promote that faith with his office. That is where this gov is coming too close for comfort.
As a Muslim I wouldn't even want to see a Muslim politician stating something like that. Its just against the foundation of this nation as our forefathers (who were not predominately christian) wanted that separation in the first place to prevent religion from creating separation in the union as it has done to every other part of the world.
Freedom of religion and the complete separation of church and state is vital for any long term success of a multi-cultural nation which the US is more so than anyone else.
