When you try to figure out what the religious right is, it ultimately comes down either to one man, Pat Robertson, or anyone who believes in a higher being and wants their taxes cut.

I don't think McCain does that. He is only lightly attracted to the religious right, or not attracted, if you watch his shifting position on gay marriage.

I am a person of faith who believes deeply in the right to exercise religious beliefs.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours,
Yours are the eyes through which to look out
Christ's compassion to the world
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about
doing good;
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now.

I have the right to object. We are more than pill counters or robots. We have religious and professional beliefs.

I think the moral majority and religious right have been shrinking and having not quite as loud a voice in America, and all of a sudden people are coming to their own realizations going, 'Joe down the street is gay and he's a great guy.'
