Religion in this country is built around hierarchies, at least the ones who claim that they can determine what is right for other people, and claim their deity says so.
In hierarchical religions, "man" is not made in the image of God, but God is made in the image of a man on top of a hierarchy.
While Americans largely have a positive view of the role of religion
in public life, they overwhelmingly want religious institutions to stay
out of politics, a new survey from the Pew Research Center has found.
Sixty-three
percent of U.S. adults believe churches and other houses of worship
should "keep out" of political matters. When asked if religious
institutions should endorse political candidates, 76 percent say no. And
a plurality of adults—at 37 percent—believe that religious groups
already have "too much" political influence.
