		<description><![CDATA[Election Day is near, and religious organizations are busy distributing voter guides to inform the faithful about issues and candidates. They appear at a time when the IRS is closely monitoring politicking by churches and when high-profile public policy issues are entwined with religious values. This year, religious groups with more liberal political orientations are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Republican Party had taken ownership of religious ground and the Democratic Party had awakened to the need to claim votes from people of faith. Then came a wave of financial scandals that affected politicians of both parties, leaving neither side in a position to accuse the other of “a culture of corruption.” On Sept. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2002, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Cleveland school voucher program in a decision that President Bush called a &#8220;landmark ruling&#8221; for parents, many voucher supporters thought a clear victory had been won. The road, however, has been much rockier, with negative court rulings, dueling research reports and continued debate about church-state constitutionality [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2004 Catholic voters did what not long before would have been considered political heresy: They supported a Republican for president over a Democrat, and an evangelical Protestant, no less, over the first Catholic presidential nominee since John F. Kennedy in 1960. Moreover, Catholics&#8217; preference for George W. Bush over John Kerry &#8211; 52 percent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several high-profile evangelical Christians are criticizing the evangelical movement for its close alliance with the Republican Party. These voices &#8211; scholars, clergy and laypeople &#8211; say that evangelicals have sacrificed the message of Jesus at the altar of political influence, throwing over their biblically mandated mission to the poor and disadvantaged in favor of trying [...]]]></description>
