I beg to differ. Faith involves one's personal relationship with the deity. The above cited instances are an example of politics, which is why theocracies (governments by God or his (self) appointed leaders are such a bad idea. Don't let the actions of xenophobic idiots lure you away from something that can only be good for you. Arriba, abajo, a centro, al dentro (Spanish for Cheers), Michael
