I couldn't agree more.  In particular, when John Anderson was running in 1980
as a moderate some people remembered that he had sponsored a Constitutional
amendment recognizing Jesus Christ as our savior (sometime in the 1960s).  
When questioned during the 1980 campaign, he said something about how he
had just been "trying to acknowledge America's Judeo-Christian heritage."  
(And that he had "changed" and/or "grown" since then.)
