Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

-- Mahatma Gandhi

American political discourse is and always has been closely intertwined with religious reference and rhetoric. The voice in Signs and Wonders is that of Woodrow Wilson delivering a speech on the principles of democracy. His language--They who sin are the servants of sin--They who break the laws are the slaves of their own kind--To obey is life. To disobey is death--is the language of absolute certainty, an attitude always present in American religion and politics.
