Would you expect a Muslim politician to go to a Mosque and pretend as though he is not a Muslim? Christian beliefs are not directly or inherently incompatible with our American system and should not serve any problem apart from the hype.

JN, you don't have to hide who you are by avoiding statements like "you aren't my brother." Was there any secret that this many was a Christian? Was it really that hidden before?
There's ways people know we are followers of Christ, and it doesn't always take a public announcement to the masses. Off-line, in cabinet sessions, in car and plane rides, he has plenty of times to talk about his faith to those he intimately is sharing life with.
