Well, yes if you exclude the ancient Romans.

If an English politician stood up on a podium and professed their profound desire to be driven by God, they would be out of a job inside twenty four hours (Tony Blair is a point in case, pretty good skin until he started shouting about God, after meeting 'W').

Canadian politics is quite free of god too, we just don't buy that crap that is religion+politics. We feel uncomfortable about it. It just never caught on, and hopefully never will. Not that our politics is completely void of god though, we just don't have candidates spewing their faith to get votes. (exception: Stephen Harper )

Most rational minded people find it utterly unbelievable that your president HAS GOT TO ACTIVELY PROVE his allegiance to God ... and then keep on doing so at the end of every public address.

Yeah, there is something wrong with that, like it's continually pounded into everyones head

Think about it. The only other set of people who rant and rave about God as much as Americans do are the 'bad' guys ... religious fanatics is what you call them. Fancy that?

Yup, seems America's wars have become holy wars to the muslim people, like we need an extra layer of BS as a reason to fight. Mostly just a cover.

American version of God wanders around Wallmart wearing a pinstripe suit and smoking a stogie (not a real Cuban one), instead of rustling up some goat curry in a cave somewhere whilst drying out his loincloth over an open hearth?

Now that's just funny as hell!
